Ken - Got it. Read the Soft top deuce thread, LDS-465 there.

Ken - Thanks for the clarification. As I undertand you, pre '70 was Kaiser-Jeep, '70 could be marked either Kaiser-Jeep OR General Products Jeep Corp and post '70 are AM General. My data plate is stamped, not etched, and did not have a year stamped on it originally, but it does now and I have...

Sorry Eric. I knew that, for some reason I've been calling you Dave all through this post and the Soft top Deuce post. Must have messed up too many brain cells sniffing too much Deuce exhaust! Gotta switch to Biodiesel! Can you post a pic of one of the data plates? I've never seen one as you...

Dave - Your signature line reads: "70 AMG M35A2 w/w turbo soft-top 71 AMG M35A2 non-tubo hard-top" Odd, I have a '70 Kaiser-Jeep M35A2; I thought AM General didn't buy out Kaiser-Jeep until 1971. Also, a '72 Deuce WITHOUT a turbo; I thought all -A1s and later had turbo'd LDT-465's. What do...

Dave - Here is another thread with some discussion on the TMC Wolverhampton transmission. Gerhard (gringeltaube) seems to have some inside info on that particular trans, although it might just be a standard Spicer 3053A with the wrong date plates. Take a good look at the pics, the TMC and Spicer...

Another nice looking truck! The number 1 cause of any electrical problems on a Deuce is a poor ground, as evidenced by the thump you gave the oil guage to get it working. The oil pressure guage is electrical, it draws +24V from the spider harness on the back side of the dash panel, the oil...

Bigmike - hang on to your atheletic supporter, it gets worse! You do NOT get a "bill of sale" from GL, after your EUC clears they send you a PDF "Invoice" which you print off by yourself. Mine did not even have the truck serial number listed, the GL rep woudn't sign my copy and blew me...

Question 2, Nature of End User's Business, I put "Personal"; Question 3, Nature of Prinicipal's Business, I put "Hobbiest"; my EUC sailed through. Ditto Chuck's comments on the title companies, I've heard nothing but bad comments on them and the fee for big trucks is pretty steep. I've figured...

That, and buying from a private party you get to see the truck running and can drive it. Many of the GL auctions are "running condition unknown", when you look at the truck it may have dead or missing batteries and you have no way to start it, so you are buying a pig in a poke. Unless there is...

I used "hobbyist" and my EUC went through in about two weeks.
