So it looks like the folks at Ft. Sam will let you do quite a bit there on the lot to get your truck running. Looking forward to my deuce recovery from there once the EUC clears.

Academy Sporting Goods has starting 1000 mca batteries (800 cca) for $60 each. They are not real big, but they might work if it doesn't get very cold where you live.

I figured I'd get around the exhaust in the garage problem by hooking up one of those flexible exhaust hoses and hook it on the outside of the garage. That way I can let it warm up in the garage and not asphyxiate! BTW, Cypress is a suburb of Houston (far northwest side) but our neighborhood...

Good to hear - I'll be going there prepared for the worst but hoping for the best!

I don't know why they bother posting lots without pictures. Same as on any other online auction - they are wasting their time.

Way to go! Your post gives me hope that my deuce from Ft. Sam will be in good shape. Waiting on EUC....

Here's my new deuce: a. Serial Number 032530037 b. Registration Number 04D38270 c. NSN without dashes 23200771616 d. Where you bought it Ft. Sam Houston San Antonio, TX e. Bumper numbers 36black square3/141 Thanks!

Doesn't work- Closed Watchlist has always worked for me before. Must be a glitch in the system.

Did anyone happen to capture the ending prices for the deuces at Ft. Sam last week? I won one of them but am just curious how a couple of the others ended. Closed watchlist doesn't seem to work this time. Thanks!

Got any pictures?

Oh, my! That's beautiful! ...drooling on keyboard...

Looking at the pics of some of the auction trucks, I notice that some do not have the tell-tale greasy spot around the valve cover breather and oil cap. Would that lead you to believe that it has been sitting for awhile and has not been run recently? Seems logical to me or does it?

I wonder if these are dyeable? What is the material on the outside of these tops? If it's canvas, it's dyeable - if it's rubberized on the outside, probably not... I want O.D.!

I was looking at the RV covers and saw that some are made of Tyvek (house wrap). The local home improvement store sells it in 9' x 150' rolls. About enough for two trucks, I calculated. A little sewing together or using housewrap tape and you are in business!

I've got a 16' wide single door so that precludes putting two deuces in the garage. Wouldn't that be a sight? Really tick off the neighbors!

The homeowner's association covenants say that I can have anything I want if it fits in the garage with the door closed. I checked the length and I can fit one in (if it doesn't have a winch) and still get into my workshop at the back of the garage. I took the wife with me to Ft Sam on Monday...

My wife doesn't believe me that a deuce will fit in a standard home garage (windshield folded down, exhaust stack removed, etc, with a 7' high door). I've seen the specifications and measured my garage so I know it'll fit. Anybody have a picture they can share showing this? Thanks in advance -...

Rumplecat, congrats on those hardtop trailers - glad a SS member got them. Lucky for you that I was out previewing deuces today without access to my laptop or you might have had a bidding war on your hands!

I went to Fort Sam Houston today to look at the trucks and found that nothing on the ground matched what was online in the listings. Truck serial numbers did not match the lot numbers or event numbers posted on the windshield, event numbers were transposed (is it supposed to be 4687 or...

I'll be heading to San Antonio next week to preview a few things. Question is, what are you allowed to do? Can you try to start the trucks or are you limited to just putting an eyeball on it to see if its what you want to bid on or not?
