    choice between 1970 deuce or 1987 deuce.

    I ordered a block heater and new lower radiator hose, I'll install and test it, but its warmed up here enough where it didn't need it to start right up this morning. I need to check the thermostat (if it has one) because the gauge didn't read above 130 ish on the 20 mile drive back. the engine...

    I got it home, now its going to get a front to back service, EGT gauge installed, belts, hoses replaced, boots and seals, before I take it out to play.

    I'll take pictures when it gets here. The weather is going to cause a one day delay though.

    The trucking company is on their way to Portland to pick up the M35A2c airfare deuce. Tomorrow I'll drive it home from Bonners Ferry Idaho. Ive ordered parts for it already from Big Mikes, and The Sensor Connection (EGT). I got 5 gallons of prestone and a 400 watt block heater and a new lower...

    I don't want to bob it. Id only do it if I have issues moving snow. First Im going to run all ten, then flip hubs and single six it. Bobbing would be a last resort. If I can get by with all ten, that would be great. Our roads up here can be pretty narrow, half are gravel, in the winter there is...

    Thats the one 8500$..what do you think. I map quested it and its 500 miles away. the road nazis would pull me over if I attempted to drive it back. And carrying chains are required.

    yes, he stated that it was air force. It looks like Im going to have to buy the 1970. its cheaper, and completely refurbished...as in axel bearings, seals, boots, shoes etc. My friend/neighbor owns it and he is going to ship it, along with his 5 ton back up here to Idaho from his Oregon shop for...

    The 87 looks like its been repainted at least once under it according to his pictures. I believe it has the LDT engine, and not the LDS. He said it had the D turbo, and the IP still has the lock wires on it so nothing has been adjusted. As far as keeping it for a collector item, thats never been...

    Im going to check with the motor vehicle dept on monday about the registration. I like the 87 better, but that 477 mile trip adds another 600$ in fuel to the price for both M35a2 and the car. Also I talked to the guy today and he drove it back from Tacoma WA a year ago and hasn't checked the...

    choice between 1970 deuce or 1987 deuce.

    Im having to choose between the two. the 1970 belongs to a close friend who keeps his equipment up perfectly, and will deliver it for free. the 1987 is from a private party 477 miles away. The 87 has dual circuit brakes, air ride seat, drop down sides, and brand new Michelin xl tires. I may...
