For a little fun, here is your truck earning it's keep. It worked hard at that rally, lifted a bunch of trailers. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjDOOrcWLQE

The short wheel base tank is longer and somewhat skinnier. Google images for M275A2 and you can see one for yourself. Its on the left side of the truck. Not sure if it would be that easy as the neck would need relocated as well. Might be easier to find a new old stock tank and weld a dimple...

I can use the tank of no one wants it! LOL

What a great way to get to know your new truck. I have owned about 10 deuces and every one tbat could have been driven, was driven home. Those that couldn't, rode the towbar. Congrats on a flawless recovery.

Sounds like they are humping right along. Ar-Kansas, getting closer every minute.

They stopped in Memphis? Crikies.

Good news. The one thing I forgot to add to his list was an assortment of compression fittings. During one of our epic, 2 auction deuce recoveries, Devilman96 and myself suffered a catastrophic nylon fuel line failure. It was O-dark thirty somewhere between towns. 30 minutes later with diesel...

I'm glad to see it being sold by someone who knows deuces, not a flipper. That's great news for the buyer.

Wonderful.

I can relay texts as well. Best to have a backup or 5. Godspeed brother.

Roadside support unit is on standby.

Have you established a departure date for your journey east? Should be epic.

Just remember this. Lows 90s outside means a 120+ degree cab with all the engine heat coming in through holes and bare sheet metal. The open windshield and closed vents and doornglass pressurizes the cab and send air out of all the holes. The crew here leaves no one stranded for long, just...

There is so much you can do with the crane and outriggers. If one made a list it would stretch from OK to GA.

It broke down. All I did was hit the flasher button. I can't believe how efficient the warning system works. Every vehicle on the street crossed over to the other side and gave me a wide berth and emergency crews were there in what seemed like seconds. If only deuces had such a superior warning...

Were you on the way to my rescue when you tipped over? If so you missed a heck of a cookout. Cribbing. Once must always travel with cribbing......unless you have a knuckleboom with outriggers. FYI, with the outrigger extended, you can lift either the front or the back of the truck by...

For what it's worth, I did a roadtrip to OH back in 2003. I did 700 miles in one day from Wildwood FL to Kingsport TN. Breaking your trip up into 2 days makes it very doable. Few pics from my '03 adventure! http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Recovry4x4/library/Gravelrama%202003?sort=3&page=1

Yes, glad you caught it as well!

Congrats on the purchase. Kinda neat to see where the truck goes as part of me goes with it. The bed was once mine! Anyways, check the deuce forum for the stickies for doing a recovery. Lots to learn there for sure. There is even a list of essential tools you will need. Most of all, have...
