Well we got it off the step deck no problem. Used a hand winch to get the trailer off first then I just backed it off in low reverse. Piece of cake for my first time ever driving a deuce. Got the vin inspection and a temp tag and brought it home. I'm going to start a new thread where I will dive...

Thats awesome!

So have the deuce in low first, have my silverado chained to the trailer, and use the clutch as a brake against the engine? And the chains from the deuce to the trailer would force the trailer to stay straight? My concern would be the chains snapping if the trailer wants to wander to one side.

Anyone have any tips for me for unloading the deuce, with little or no brakes, with the m105 trailer attached, off of a step deck trailer? I've heard the m105 is a lot of fun backing up....

Thank you sir for the positive vibes! I try to gauge my projects and stay prepared. My eval along with the wonderful knowledge base here have led me to these conclusions. I am ready to get started!

I didnt purchase the first one which was a basket case. The one being shipped to me is in much better shape, lower miles, started right up after 6 years and has mostly newer tires on it. Should be a much better truck.

Plan on using dot5. When we were there I was able to bleed the air pack and get a little bit of a pedal. MC was dry though.

Booked for pick up on Monday hoping it gets here soon. I plan to go through the entire brake system and fuel system. Ordered new rubber brake lines and fuel pump and remote reservoir. Need to get either new wheel cylinders or rebuild kits. Probably both just to have on hand.

So I will start another thread when it gets here and I start wrenching but....I picked up a much nicer model in desert tan with a trailer and many extra parts from another member on here. Now just waiting on the transport to pick it up and bring it here since it needs brake work and a fuel pump...

I told the guy I had to pass, he didn't counter anything or even respond. The guy I messaged on here responded. We'll see where it goes. Thanks again for everyone's advice, I'm sure I'll be back with other questions but in the meantime I'll do more searching.

I really appreciate everyone's advice and input. I wanted a deuce because of its ruggedness and no requirement for a CDL. We were looking to build a bug out vehicle that could go anywhere and run on different types of fuel which led me to the multifuel deuce. A project is one thing; I'm not...

Where did you find one for that price? The one i'm looking at is the lowest price I've been able to find

I should mention that he said it was the whistler motor, I did not hear the turbo whistle. In videos I've watched of these trucks it should have been noticeable I think. I'll ask him for some pics of the engine. Something I did not look at very closely when I looked at it. My fault. But it did...

I am located near Western Hills in Cincinnati. The truck is out in Sunman Indiana. Guy selling it said he had too many projects which was why he wanted to part with it. Additional info: windshield glass was cracked and the frame was rusted pretty bad on the passenger side left corner. Cab was...

Hey guys I just signed up to this forum and have been reading some of the threads. I have restored several Pontiac Firebirds of various years and models, and recently swapped an LS engine into a 1985 Corvette so I have a decent amount of mechanical and restoration experience. I am looking at a...
