Ever get your deuce dug outta where it was?

Quick question, and maybe someone can redirect me to a more pertinent thread.....how hard would it be to convert one of the M109a4 engines to run multifuel, or at least off veggi oil?

Ohh I like this one!

Man I wish I had the know how and the equipment to do half of the stuff you are doing to you're truck. Awesome work!

man that is a sick ride!

Yeah but thats the fun of it. Can't wait until I can get mine. Had the wifes car crap on me, so blew some of my deuce fund fixing that. Probably cant get one until November now :?

Looking good man, I am getting really jealous!

Heh I'm much more in to it than a simple rattle can paint job.....I'll give you a call, although I may need to save up some more dough before I am able to get a "Better Shape" deuce. I do think you all are right for the record though, I just was thinking in my head that if I can get the...

To get the one that I was looking at to my house? Maybe $2-300? Its about 5 miles away. I was talking one that was in a different state

issue is its another $1500 to get it to me. I was thinking if I can get that truck for $1500, I would be ok with the work I needed to do on it. Trust me I know its not worth $3500 as it is...... I just want to get a truck local 1st, so I can work on it, learn it in and out before I do a longer...

Yeah luckily I am not as trigger happy as I was 2 weeks ago. Overall the truck isn't in BAD BAD shape, it looks a lot worse because of the junk paint they put on it, other than 1 dent its pretty clean. BUT it doesn't have brakes, needs the winch repaired, windows replaced ect. Guy wants $3500...

The brake fluid you can see goes about half way down the tires, most of the wet is rain, it poured they day I went and looked at it. Since I don't know a ton about this, can you guys help me ballpark what it would cost to do the following? (I am going to search too, but keeping in this thread...

I have no deal at all. That's why I have the 10,000,000 questions for you all lol, I want to make sure its something worth buying or even considering buying at all. (and I DO like working on things, but I WOULD like to drive it too!)

Good to know, I had no idea! I'm very much a rookie lol. Where is the shear pin located? I may go look over it again, and I will take a look and see if thats the case. I would be willing to bet you are 100% right though, I would assume that the shear pin SHOULD break before the winch cable...

I pointed the u bolt out to my buddy, and was like what the **** did that? As well as the Winch. I think you hit the nail on the head, it was a weekend toy, that someone didn't really maintain (broken front and side window, leaks, dent, broken winch, etc etc. I don't mind fixing the stuff at...
