Recovery day, 0900 hours. Quite an uneventuful pickup, but that's what I was hoping for! Gave them the paperwork then went up to the yard. A guy with a forklift moved a 5 ton out of the way like it was a Tonka toy truck, then gave me a push, she started right up! Drove it right off the lot...
OK, just got the PAID invoice today and made my appointment. I'm picking her up at 9:00am tomorrow morning (Thursday). The guy said he would give me a jump, but I am going to come prepared with two batteries and some tools just in case. All I have to do is drive it about a quarter mile on...

Hey guys, just wanted to say hello. Just bought my first Deuce from GL, so far so good. Awaiting EUC. It's the second truck in my lineup. The first is a M37 undergoing a frame off restoration. It's currently in 1000 pieces and I had a little OD Green fever and couldn't help...
