    cost of ownership (the real cost of a deuce)

    with so many people looking to pick one up i decided to make public what the "real" cost of one of these trucks is, or at least the cost to get it up and running and on the road. i guess what inspired this is the fact that we look at these as a bargain (they are) but not many know what they are...

    heads up!! warning!!

    i know we cant speak of future auctions but i think this is ok so i will be general about the topic. there has been alot of talk about preview vs. sight unseen bidding on GL. id like to make known that there is a particular site that is using the same pics for engine shots. nearly every item...

    finally got my Deuce out of Mechanicsburg!

    we did to be safe, prob could have just put the t-case in neutral but the wrecker opperator said he'd seen transmissions and transfer cases burn out that way. somthing about the oil running to the back and smoking the input shaft seal. only took a min or two, just disconnected it from the front...
