Three days driving and 2200 miles traveled and the deuce is home. My original plan to drive it home fell by the wayside when I learned it had been sitting for three years. I towed my trailer from Utah to Iowa, pulled the outside duals on the deuce so it would fit on the trailer, and loaded it up.
The trip went well except for one flat tire on the trailer (courtesy of a small bolt I picked up on the road somewhere) and a citation for having a headlight out on my pickup. Both were resolved while still on the trip and I am glad to be home safe and sound.
The deuce is in quite good shape. The brakes work well and the engine and tranny are smooth. There is very little rust. The only issues I have discovered thus far are a slow air leak (yet to be found), worthless batteries (replaced tonight), and a possibly non-functional alternator (I’ll check that tomorrow). Overall I am very pleased.
My thanks to all who chimed in to answer my questions before I left. I felt very prepared when I got there and am excited to get the deuce off the trailer now that it has new batteries and I can start it.
Enjoy the pictures below. Sorry there aren't more but my focus was on getting home rather than taking pictures .
