I really am somewhat uneducated on these pipeline trucks to be honest, I assumed that rack was from protection from the pipes. The pto is engaged with a lever behind the drivers seat on the left hand side, same as my M49 truck with a t-case pto.
Kenny, the only thing in the boxes is a couple...
I know another guy that has one (in much rougher shape and a gasser) that I might have to see if I can get my hands on and maybe come up with some of the missing pieces for this one, then it should bring at least $1600, right? :-D
It was for sale locally on Craigslist, I just happen to be the one to come up with the cash and buy it. It just became mine this afternoon, sorry for any confusion. And I did see the ad long before he started this thread, just coincidentally happened around the same time.
I have mine through Hagerty, must be garaged, but now I heard someone who called them for their deuce and they said they do not insure MV's. Go figure!
I think the doubling of the frame in back is for guys who are using 105 trailer springs and don't want to use a lift block or fabricate custom hangers/shackles. I would recommend using front springs from a donor deuce, they "simply" bolt on and will give you a level ride height without blocks.
