I will deffinetly see if I can find someone will to check it out before i pick it up maybe even if I have to pay them. And if I can spare the time and someone will help I will give a good tune up/ once over before driving it home.

tsmall where and how did you get those permits?

Hey another thing, what do you guys do about registration and insurance to get them home. You need both before they let you drive it off the lot right?

From my calculations from the information you guys have given me, it would cost about $6-700 dollars to get it home. That includes the spare parts you guys listed and fuel . That is if nothing catastrophic happens.

On my mustang it goes its a 5 speed 1st is all the way to the Left and up and Reverse is all the way to the Right and down. http://www.learnstick.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/gearshift1.jpg As long as I know...

I guess you gotta learn somehow. I imagine a deuce is pretty forgiving on early shifting due to its torque. I learned to drive a stick on a very old and finicky VW Jetta. Every stick after it has been a breeze. I drive a 5-speed almost everyday. The only time I regret it is when i'm stuck in...

If I get into this hobby by buying a truck, I wanna learn as much as I can. I love to tinker, my wife is getting mad at me for constantly messing with our daily drivers. At least with a deuce if it didn't run or sat in pieces for a few days I wouldn't need it.

I really want to pick one up from a GL lot myself. To me recovering a deuce and getting it home is like a right of passage. How will I ever learn anything if i just pay someone else to do all the leg work.

If I bought one at redstone id hold out for one that's drivable.

From Redstone to my house is about 650 miles so at a average of say 7mpg id burn about 100 gallons of Fuel, diesel is about 2.20 a gallon so about 220 dollars of diesel.

Whoops, well its the only truck in FL listed on GL so it shouldn't be hard to find.

If I bought that one my Father-in-law would probably help me tow it home with his deuce. But I don't know enough about them to know whats missing or where to get replacement parts.

The only deuce Ive found so far in Florida is missing the Head and maybe other parts. The body and cab look in EXCELLENT condition though.

Ive looked for deuces in Florida on GL and there are not many.

How much do you guys usually spend to recover a deuce? I'm talking all the spare parts (batteries,belts,fluids, etc). I've come to the conclusion that the buying part is the easy part, and the hard part is getting them home. What kind of MPG could I expect?
