theres loading in Cali and we'd need to get creative in utah for unloading. I have 2 post car lift at my place. Not sure if that helps in any way. I'm sure we could figure something out. Ill PM ya.

Ah decisions decisions. So there is no more deuce. (Sadly it sold) So just the 5 ton. With just the one im tempted to just fly down and drive bck. How much confidence should i have to be able to drive it back problem free. Wish it were local. ugh.

Need to get a deuce and 5 ton 542 miles from southern California to Salt Lake area in Utah. I've tried Uship.com but I'd like to be closer to a dollar/ dollar fifty per mile. Any help out there in the interwebs?

Need to move a bobbed deuce and a 5 ton from south California to Lehi Utah. 580 miles. Ideas? cost?

That's good to hear. I've been imptessed with him so far but I figured I'd ask here since, well, we all know how a lot of times people's reputation can proceed them. If all goes well ill be a new MV owner this month!

So I went to Boyces Equipment and talked to the sales guy. Definitely feeling close to picking something up. Leaning toward an M818 out of California. Has a shortened deuce bed on it but get the extra power if a 5 ton. What are your thoughts and is 100dollarman reputable? This is one if his trucks.

Thank you this was EXTREMELY helpful. I'm actually going to be headed to Boyce tomorrow instead of today I have a buddy also interested that wants to come with. I'll drop you a PM and if at all possible to link up on our trip north that'd be awesome. Cheers

Thank you! I had read and looked over the diagrams and service checklist but I havent read the full manual. 550 pages ouch. I did however read the how to destroy vehicle so it's unusable by the enemy part though. :-)

I'll look into that. Anyone bought from Boyce Equipment out of Ogden Utah before? It looks like they have a Ron of them. Also possibly interested in a 5 ton as well for the extra power and power steering. I guessnill see what these guys tell me.

Fairly so. I work on all my own cars and I learn quickly but I am no professional mechanic. I do however own my own two post car lift but I have a feeling this beast won't be able to fit on it. :)

Well that's slightly lame but, hey, not my forum so i guess they can do whatever they want. Any other important questions I should ask before going to look at these deuces?

This is what I was thinking as well but it seems like everybody and their brother are talking about Bobbed deuces. Anyway . . I'm headed tomorrow to go look at a couple for possible future purchase. I've been reading up on the things to look for but I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions...

My first post. Hope to get to know you guys better. So I've done a lot of lurking and now that I'm getting serious about owning an M35 I figured I'd better join up. With all my searching I HAVE found a lot of great info on how to "bob" a deuce and a half but I haven't read anything...
