I'm sorry... should have thought to include some VIN numbers. It starts with "04H9767105xxxxxxx". Does that clarify anything? I believe the pics are still up on Ebay. Go there and search for: 330579360428 The truck looks BETTER in the flesh than it does in the photos (to my...

I'm sitting here with my "new" bobbed '71 Deuce right outside the window. Had it shipped in from Phoenix to northern Nevada, arriving Wednesday. I love it, without even rolling it off my 5-acre "spread " ( for lack of plates and insurance). The Bill of Sale says "body style: M35A2" and make...

Yes sir, that was the bid...$6500 and change. I thought it was a good price, and I'm pleased to have the agreement of a few more-experienced hands on this subject. There were several other bidders, especially in the last few minutes before the auction closed. It has the air-shift transfer...

Yesterday I went to Country Insurance, the carrier of our home insurance policy. After some discussion, and having the Agent and "the underwriter" (someone up the chain) view the Ebay photos* of the truck, they decided it could be covered....IF we transferred our other six vehicles to their...

Newbie here. I'll soon be setting-up my truck with its on-board tool inventory. It's IMPLIED on this thread that the truck's air system is capable of running the 3/4" -drive impact wrench. Is this correct? If so, what size hose is needed, and I ASSume it's connected to the gladhands on the...

Excellent, thanks. I'm an ol' f--t who isn't all that comfortable with the Computer Age, although I HAVE searched successfully for a few topics here at SS. Seems to me that the biggest problem is choosing the actual wording for the search. Pick the wrong words, and we stand a great chance...

Many thanks for the thoughtful and helpful replies. "Carol at Gulfway" is not much of a description. Carol WHO? Gulfway WHERE? Address? Telephone number? It does sound like a good possibility, I must say. If my other insurer here (carries our homeowner policies) doesn't come through...

We bought an Arizona-registered bobbed Deuce a short while back. The truck is still in Arizona, but I have the title andBill of Sale.. Today I went to my insurance company(Country Financial) here in Nevada to get coverage for this truck. They said they would not cover it "because it's been...

Thanks for the replies. I put this thread here because the basic transfer-case system of my bobbed Deuce will still be the same as that of an unaltered truck (1971 M35A2), and there's much wider exposure here. So, my understanding is that a sprag-equipped case will automatically direct...

This forum, "The Deuce", has over 750 pages of threads. I recently bought a bobbed Deuce (which I have not yet even SEEN), and in the absence of experience with the truck I set out to read the entire 700-plus pages from oldest to newest. I'm now up to page 580, and have yet to see any info...

Albert, no, I'm very sorry. Many thanks for your offer; it's much appreciated. It would certainly help if we could make an arrangement to meet-up around Las vegas or a bit further north Vegas makes sense because of the airline connections. How do you visualize getting yourself back home...

Well, it sounds pretty dumb but I bought this truck sight-unseen. This was mostly due to the sterling reputation of the seller, as well as our communications with him. It's about 800 miles away (in Phoenix AZ) and I'm trying to make whatever preparations I can before it gets here. I agree...

My new-to-me bobbed deuce will be arriving soon. I've now read over 100 pages of" the Deuce " forum, and am currently making my way through posts from 2005. Some concerns are arising, which is exactly WHY I'm reading the valuable old threads. My truck has Michelin 1400-20 tires, and no...

Hoo boy, I'll say they're heavy....somewhere I saw a figure of 210 pounds just for the tire, without a wheel. Once the truck gets here, I'd already planned to add one of the "pick-up bed hoists" which have about a 1000-pound lifting capacity. That will handle the spare, and also loads up to...

Looking at all these fine bobbed Deuces, one thing has become obvious to my curious mind: WHERE ARE THE SPARE TIRES? Very few of the pics show a tire mount or even the tire. Most of the few visible spares seem to be carried loose in the bed of the truck. Appearances (photos) suggest that...

ASG, you've ALMOST got me beat, but I'm 68. I figger I can always park the truck outside the Old Folks' Home and plant flowers in the bed! Gents, I am too computer-illiterate to move photos around. If some kind soul could move a couple of those pics from Ebay to here, it would be much...

Thanks for the reply. Actually, there will be a spare. I talked to Dollarman today, and they will put a Michelin XL 14.00-20 on a Deuce wheel for me for $400 out the door. this is the same tire as those on the truck now. He says the tire will have about 90% tread remaining. A friend will...

I hope this post isn't out of line. As the new owner of a bobbed Deuce (which I have never yet SEEN) I'm researching parts, tools. techniques etc, as I'm considering driving it from Phoenix to my home in northern Nevada...about 800 miles. When the rear wheels are singled-up, what is the...

Gents, good evening. This is my first post on SS, but I've been lurking for q while and learning a great deal about MVs. This thread seems like a good place to stick my toe in the water. I live in northern Nevada, and I have a newly-purchased bobbed Deuce languishing in Phoenix AZ , waiting...
