PS: What did you win in the bet?? :popcorn:
PPS: I HOPE you checked to make certain that the Deuce you just bought isn't the SAME ONE YOU JUMPED!! aua
I initially had some similar concerns about my 50's British Sports Cars. These have no seatbelts.
But I soon realized that IF I get hit by any modern SUV I'm gonna lose with or without seatbelts!
Fortunately most of my drives are in the countryside, and I rarely encounter any traffic.

Lex_Ordo,
C'mon Fess Up!
That's not really your truck in the pics!
Looks more like an archive PIC from the original Kaiser OR AM General sales catalog!!
Q: Is that nifty wheel lock stock??

PS: NICE LOOKIN' Interior!!!
:ditto: on the price evaluations!
I paid approx $2K for mine (mostly rust free straight & complete body, Ford straight 6 engine, some brake issues to be fixed).
No Satellite Dish Though!! rofl
Personally, I wouldn't put a lot of money into a stock motor, unless you REALLY want a stock...
Yeah, that's why I always lower the air pressure prior to shipping!
Saves me a ton of money that way!!
:cookoo:
IN FACT, if you pump the air out and create a really strong vacuum they actually get close to weighing nothing!!
:lol:

I AGREE!
THE POINT I WAS TRYING TO MAKE is that the price of M35s is sure to go up in future years as they become more scarce. RIGHT NOW there appears to be PLENTY at the actions, but that undoubtedly will change... one day...

ACTUALLY, the XM211 I recently bought has 10 spare tires/wheels in the cargo area...
I'm just trying to estimate the added weight of these 10 tires/wheels.
(Unfortunately, not all of these tires are NDCCs, some are std truck tires, so they'll probably never actually be used... )
So 10 tires...
Hey Guys,
What is the weight of a standard Deuce tire/wheel combination?
(I need to provide a shipper with a weight for shipping... & I'm having these sent TO me so I don't have the ability to weight them...)
Approx 100lbs ea?? 80lbs ea?
THANKS!
