This was to be the topic of my next thread, great pick up bevanet. Peter. PS, happy 100th post:-)

Please excuse my ignorance, but is the truck all open or do you (or they) at least tarp it up? Peter.

My shipping guy knew of them but said to stay away from them, I think you are correct in saying they are a US land/rail thing only. Peter.

It has been 7 or 8 years since I last purchased a deuce and that was from a dealer in good condition with a f/glass hard top and no winch for $20,000 Aussie dollars, our dollar was worth 10c more than yours this morning but back then it was 30c less, I can't afford to pay anything like that but...

Also if you are having battery trouble after a 25 min drive, I would have a look at charge rates, unless you run big sub-woofers, had your AC on high and were using your portable 24 volt espresso machine :-) Peter.

With those freight charges, I think you should take back a load of oranges to pay for your fuel, you may even turn a profit:-) Good luck, have a safe trip. Peter.

I will come over to purchase the truck and parts and a good mate of mine ships vehicles out of Texas regularly (not usually this big however:-)) so his guys will pack it for me, I may hang around it will depend on time. He also suggested roll on roll off, but cited the same security concerns as...

I don't understand the 20' vs 40' container argument either. It wasn't W & P machinery was it? Peter.

I was after something with a lock on the door, as I plan to bring a pile of parts back with it, and I would be concerned about my tires "walking" away. the extra width of the longer containers doesn't sound like much but when you are chasing a few inches it can be the difference of fitting it in...

And I am grateful. Peter.

Don't worry, it is a bit daunting for me as well. Peter.

Thanks Jeff, this will give me inspiration, great stuff, you guys rock!!! Peter.

Hi guys, a standard shipping container is 7'6" wide internaly, I am doing my math to see if I can shoe horn a duece into one so I can ship it over here to Australia, I am guessing getting the paperwork to ship it out of the US will be another issue, but my question for today is, how skinny can I...

It needs to extend away from the truck so you can use it as a BBQ!!!!!! Peter.

To be honest I don't know, I wasn't into them back then and it was just a 6x6 Kaiser army truck, turbo multi fuel engine with the tray removed, we fitted a turntable so it could pull the trailer and a winch in case it got stuck. Peter.

I purchased this duece for a kids show called "Thunderstone" here is a link to some footage start at 2 mins Peter.

Thanks, you guys are very welcoming. Peter.

The Sydney harbour is a beautiful place, so is the city, it is just a bit fast for me, the coffee is better in Melbourne as well:-). Peter.

Thanks Todd, there are a few "funny buggers" as well. Peter.

Guilty as charged:oops: Peter.
