The deuce they are installed on is very nice. I have not driven it at night yet but I did drive trucks in Iraq with them. They turn night into day. I really hated seeing an on comeing convoy with those. We would have to stop.
I am putting myself through the academy so I have to pay for it. We have discussed making my other 87 legal becuase my dually is down for major repairs. But gettin it legal in GA is a pain and very costly.
I openly admitted to not knowing everyhting about the truck I alos stated I am only looking inot parting ir right now becuase some people I know suggested it. I have also stated I do not think it is a good idea to part it but I would like to knwo the ends and outs just in case.
I agree that...
I did notice some stuff under my other one that my other deuces do not have.
At this point that is all I know is missing. I have not gone over the truck real good yet. I forgot to mention that the glass for the windshield is also missing. When I go ver it real good I might find more.
It would be nice to see the frame get used.
I am not leaning towards parting it out right now. I would prefer to sell it as a whole. Let me know what all you want in a PM and maybe we can just cut a deal on the whole truck.
If I were to part it out, it would be nice to get the hard to sell stuff out of the way first. I have not given the truck a good going over yet. SO I am not sure what all the engine needs. It looks at though all it requires is a compressor and filters.
I do sell al ot already so i have a good idea how to work shipping. But yes, it is a huge pain in the ass. I am so sick of selling stuff. I have to go through 20 idiots before I get the one person worth dealing with. I am not much of a people person to begin with. That is almost enough to stop...
That is kind of what I am thinking. But then again, I am not sure how far gone this one is. The engine is the only issue that I know of.
One reason I am considering this is becuase I have another very nice 87 dropside. It is not perfect but it is not far from it. It runs great and everything...
I agree, it would be a lot fo work. That is one of the reasons I do not want to do it.
And that is another good point. Really, I do not think parting it out is a good idea. But there have been several people that have suggested it to me so I figured there must be something to it.
I see what you are saying about the frame.
It needs some engine work that I cannot aford. To be honest I have not done a complete assesment of the truck yet. I bought it while I was in Iraq thinking it was a running truck. I am just looking for ideas before I get into it.
The whole truck including the cab is rust free and in great shape.
I figured tha frame would have to be scrapped, but I hoped not.
it does not run. The engine is missing parts. It does turn over though.
People look at me like I am nuts when I tell them how much I want for it. Even though...
