    What have I done?

    Good to hear the guys in Indiana are cool. I was planning on getting temp tags and insurance, so I think I should be good to go, even if I get stopped.

    What have I done?

    RE: Re: RE: What have I done? Well, I got contacted by GL today, so they received my stuff. They said they needed the export letter. I was warned about that but I couldn't find it on their site and I didn't think I would need it anyway since I wasn't exporting (bring on the "I told you so"...

    Air tools on the deuce

    Thanks for the info. Sorry to be dense, just new to these trucks. Thanks, again!

    Air tools on the deuce

    These are all great ideas which I will look into when I get it home, but what I really need to know is what I need to take on the recovery trip. Is there some sort of adapter I can put on the glad hand? If not, what size quick-connect is the under-dash unit? Thanks.

    Air tools on the deuce

    I'm just getting together my list of recovery items and I'd like to take along a standard air tool hose with tire chuck, nozzle, maybe an air wrench, etc. just in case. I have a couple of questions: 1) Do all the trucks have the fitting under the dash for air tools? 2) If so, what size is the...

    new truck to me

    Plus, isn't the circle on the invasion star broken not solid?

    What have I done?

    I appreciate the words of encouragement. I've gotten over the initial buyer's remorse (that didn't take long), and now I'm just plain excited. Also, the wife is fine with it b/c I sold my M715. One in, one out, you know. I submitted my EUC and driver's license today via email as scanned...

    What have I done?

    I appreciate the offer. I was planning on coming back via I-72/Hwy 36 across North Missouri to try and avoid St. Louis and KC, but I haven't totally decided yet. There are some benefits to staying on I-70, but some drawbacks, as well.

    What have I done?

    One other question, I've read all the stickies and advice on picking up a deuce so I'm not too worried about the mechanical issues, but I want to be sure I'm clear on the paperwork. Are these the right steps? 1) Get awarded the deuce at midnight after the auction 2) Submit license and EUC via...

    What have I done?

    Yep, I know how that goes. My sickness started with an M715 which I mostly restored and sold so that I could buy this. I was able to buy this one and put some cash in the bank so that made the wife happier (notice I didn't say "happy" :) ), but now I wish I had both. Maybe an M37 next...

    What have I done?

    Yeah, I noticed a little surface rust inside the passenger fender under the exhaust. Looks like a pretty easy scrape and paint job. I couldn't see any other rust in the pics, but I'm sure there's some there. None of the paint is flaking, so that's good. I thought maybe there could be a hole...

    What have I done?

    You guys probably get these posts every Thursday and Friday, but here goes: Winner, winner, chicken dinner. Blind bid, no preview, I'm an idiot but I couldn't be more excited. It will probably self-destruct on the way home :) $2,140 in Indiana w/winch, soft top, cargo cover, no...

    $50K HUMVEE

    I think they stopped at the reserve, otherwise those bids wouldn't have counted (as you said). Also, eBay doesn't do the percentage deal any more, it's a flat rate fee depending on the price range in which the vehicle sold. Either way, it looks fishy. If it was a legit buyer, why would they...

    $50K HUMVEE

    Agreed, I bet he just had someone bid it up for him.

    $50K HUMVEE

    I just thought it was strange that the wording in the ad was almost exactly the same as the craigslist one. Hopefully it was a legit deal, sounds like it was.

    We'll see if he actually gets it? See this thread: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=23056&highlight=6300

    Identify turbo

    RE: C Turbo Well, let's say it is the C "whistler" turbo. How hard is it to find a D turbo? How much will it be? How hard is it to swap out? Thanks!

    Identify turbo

    I'm looking at a truck. Is there any way to tell from these pics if this is a "whistler" turbo?
  19. chicklin

    Took her out and played :-)

    I'll trade you mine, straight up. Of course, you'll have to take the 10 month old and the one on the way, as well.

    Deuce in Kansas City, MO

    Anybody have a deuce in KC they'd like to sell? Know anyone nearby that has one for sale? I've done the eBay, craigslist, GL thing, I just wanted to see if I'm missing anything privately owned before I go the GL route. Thanks!!!
