believe me- in the first pic it looked worse!! :) I couldn't really capture how beat it was. A lot of the rust was lost when I cut the fenders way out, but a lot of "Whiskey kisses" remain all over the body

the east coast is just glutted- you're looking at a 20-30% increase for west coast trucks, just due to supply and demand. I dealt with that when shopping for mine, and when I sold it. Something is really only worth what you can get for it, but that truck, if there's no bad rust, is tuned...

even though I sold my deuce. Here's the new project that's been taking all my time. My uncle's truck- just consider it the CUCV the way it should have been but without the Dana 60 front (once I find one......). It's got a 396 (soon to be 427), SM465, NP205 14 bolt FF, 4.56 gears and Detroit...

they should- it's on 46" XML's!

from ck5.com:

supply and demand- there's a zillion bases back east auctioning this stuff off, and it mostly stays in the east. The closest place to buy a deuce from a dealer is in Idaho, I am aware of no other dealers on the west coast. When GL has a rare deuce for auction in CA, it always goes high, for...

guess I was lucky- never got one complaint about my deuce and I was in a pretty nice neighborhood most of the time!

in stock form, the spring loaded linkage from the trans to the transfer case in first or second gear will tell the transfer whether the to have the sprag ready. It senses inside the case whether the front wheel has traction, and will engage the sprag accordingly. The Memphis kit just...

hey Ben- as of right now, the middle differential has an axleshaft pulled- the driveshaft between the two differentials is still in place though. The spare axle shaft is under the seat if you wish to put it back in- and you may if you won't be driving on pavement. The reason it was pulled is...

man, the forum's been gone for so long this will come as a real bombshell- I sold my deuce! Mostly over space concerns, the fact that I have 7 other projects to work on, and need some cash to buy a lathe and a mill. It was great to own such a solid piece of history, but I can't keep up...

thanks!!!

yeah, that's what I'm thinking, but without the folding part. The winch didn't even break a sweat getting it up these ramps, so I'm sure it could handle a bit more incline at the start. Another option would be a dump bed, another would be a generator/compressor loading bed, the ones with the...

:confused:

from 50MPH, she got a little sideways, but with all that rubber in contact with the road the crisis was averted. Not the best way to stop, but without ABS what can you do? :lol: Did I mention I hate driving that thing in traffic? ON ANOTHER NOTE-- CAN YOU SEE MY SIGNATURE IN THESE TWO...

I know they sure bring a 14,000 pound truck to a halt when you lock the brakes up, so there must be some traction! :)
