Another update, my wife and I did a cruise in Flint tonight "Back to the Bricks" and my wife said she was having fun and she also said, "I'm glad we bought the truck!";)

You really think it will be January? I was hoping for a repeat buyer like myself it would be faster. After my first one cleared it seemed like everything went much quicker after that.

Well, dad just got his truck. I had him on the phone for the last 2 minutes and he was yelling, "Come on, come on!" He is excited. He paid a little more than what I thought he would have too, but still $550 under his high number. Plus I will add his "Harley hauler"

I've been driving the deuce, but I just got my registration today; so now I can officially drive it! The tires ride sweet, it hauls...I passed a motorhome the other day on the interstate. It was the first time I'd ever passed anything! I started passing another car and then it went faster...

Just got my authentic historical plate registration today, cost $35 and my uncle already had the original 1952 plate! Plated insuranced and I'm now ready to take plart in all club activities!

You ended up doing the same thing as me! Driving a truck 550 miles! You had a couple hiccups though, glad you fixed them. I'll make sure to slide on over and check out your thread.

kastein, take some pictures and start a new thread in member's rides, we are all waiting in anticipation!

Maybe I haven't said that in the course of this long running thread yet, but I bought her a camera a long time ago...a Nikon D60 with an external flash (SB600) which is entry level professional stuff and expensive. I paid almost $600 for that setup. So I did think of her needs first!

I found some pictures of the new tires before and after. You will also notice the stack is higher as I put in a Dynomax bullet muffler and put the stock guard right over it. Mike's wheels are awesome! So easy to put together, really difficult to lift off the ground! I'll get some more...

Fredo, I'll take some picturs and post them. I just got the SF-97 today, took it to the SoS and got my title. They will be sending me the title in the next 10 days or so. The lady was looking in all kinds of books and tried to title it as a "stake truck"; I wouldn't let her do that. I...

streamline, every post 1990 vehicle I've owned I wouldn't hesitate to drive 550 miles on the same day of purchasing, or else I wouldn't have bought it. With the m35a2 I was nervous about it, thats why I brought my dad (a mechanic) and lots of tools with me. The biggest thing was getting it off...

For my recovery I drove the truck about 550 miles and it cost about $150 in fuel, so I guess I got somewhere close to 10 miles per gallon, but the tank was full when I got the truck, so maybe a little less.

OF- I believe there are 2 kinds of slave cables, but an adapter can be purchased to make it work. My deuce has the older 2 prong style and I believe the new style is single pronged. Yesterday I finally got all the stuck budd caps off and put on the 46" tires, I took it for a test drive...it...

Kastein, the truck is not necessarily an "enemy combatant", but it is hostile! When she heard that there is a possibility to make $$ renting it out for movies she got a little happier.

Like BillyBobbed just said, to run umo it must be multi-fuel. Some guys run it through a centerfuge while others, like myself pre-filter it. I have fuel filters and bases that I picked up from Tractor Supply that are plumbed to a barrel pump which is in a 55 gal drum of umo. As far as the...

What options do you want? Do you want one with a winch, heater, hardtop, and cargo cover already on the truck? Let me know what you want and I will help you locate one, plus this whole community can help you. I know where there are some on the private market too.

13Mike and I just went to Indy and picked up a 5 ton wrecker, all it needed was a jump start and he drove it back. We took a lot of tools, oil, all the recommended stuff and all we needed was the slave cable. Then I went to PA and took oil, tools; but I do not have a slave cable. I talked...

The GL auction service has lots of bad things that can happen, but the only fees that you will pay are a 10% auction fee (10% of the sale price) and then like $60 or something for an SF97 which is what you will need to get a title. You also might have to pay state sales tax, but you'd have to...

If you live near a place that has deuces it is easy to get one from GL and much cheaper (hopefully) than a private sale. If you go the GL way a deuce with winch will run anywhere from $2000-$3000 and one without from $1000-2000, unless you want an a3. Private sales the prices are all over the...

None for sale, I had to sell like 12 or something. I am not out and about yet in the truck as I am waiting on the title from GL and a license plate...also waiting to get my super single tires on it. There are several guys from around the area that have these. There is an event in Flint in...
