Flea, The duece pulled it like it wasn't even there. The slowest I dropped down to was 35MPH going up a real big hill. It is hard to see it in the rearviews with the frame shortened up but once I adjusted to it I had no problems. I bought it to pull the shelter on but with trailer and shelter...

If I don’t sell all of the Arkansas trucks in place I plan to have a step-deck flatbed at the GL site in Littlerock next Friday morning. Depending on which company I use, the truck will be leaving Northeast Alabama and going to Littlerock via Memphis. If you have anything near the take off point...

Couple more.

For all of you chomping at the bitt for pics of my epic adventure:

Kenny, Sorry I didn't see the posts. I have been wrapped around the axle with the VA, working a split shift and trying to figure out how to get a 5 ton and four dueces home. If I can help otherwise give me a holler.

Kenny, I wish I had known you had trucks there. I just picked up the bolster trailer. I would have been happy to have checked them out. By the way, Lavina is a beautiful place but is right between nowhere and nowhere else. If you take HWY 104 beware......it is a twisty, turney road between I-40...

The meeting in Pigeon Forge sounds like a plan. I was Trans before I moved over to Public Affairs. It's not that far from where I am.

I got the bolster trailer, next I got to get the Ark. dueces and then my baby will be coming home. Redass in Ind. is taking care of it for me. Prob get it just before Christmas......need a big tree to put it under. We'll talk paint later :D

Wednesday was the day I had arranged to pick up the bolster trailer I had won from GL a few weeks ago. The adventure started Tuesday night. After spending the better part of the day at the VA hospital I was too keyed up to sleep so I left for Livina, Tenn. about 11 PM. The deuce performed...

I want to thank Redass73 for going above the call of duty to get my truck off GL's property and hold it until I can get up there and get it. I plan to drive up there and drive it home towing my Ranger back with it. Maybe it will run as good as it looks. I will post pics when I :grd:

I did get one on my duece. The truck came from the South Carolina Nat Guard. I think it was used for Convoy Operations Training at Fort Jackson. MY only complaint is that they dented the hard top when they did the installation and it leaks a little when it rains. I used it the other day at the...

The only whine associated with my MV comes from the kitchen. :roll:

I am having a fire sale on the four dueces I bought in Arkansas...if you want a good one PM me and we can work out the details. Probably less than 3k The fewer I have to tow home the better.

WOW!!!!!! All that rusty metal and needs an EUC too. I'm underwelmed. :roll:

There was an article in the local fishwrapper last year about a guy in Springville, AL that was running an old Ford (I think) pickup off wood gas. The old "Mother Earth News" magazine had several articles on this subject too. If anybody is interested I'll try to find my digital copy of the...

OK...this ain't funny anymore. I have called all the usual suspects for MV insurance and nobody will touch my newly aquired (but not picked up) M52. USAA...NOPE...Hagerty's......nope...... Any insight appreciated. I need insurance or I will have to have it towed off GL's lot in Indy.

Since we are talking wild schemes let me throw this one out. I have a 1960 International crew cab (officially known as a Travelette) that is residing in the "Skunkworks". My plan is to find a duece that has a lot of cab rust or damage and transplant the Cornbinder body onto it and then bob it...

The engine ran just like it did on regular diesel. It did not smoke excessivley, run rough, knock, skip, bark, run around in circles or foam at the mouth. :lol: When I put the laquer thinner in it I was running almost pure LT with a small amount of UMO to lubricated the pump. It ran like a...

The legal weight for a Class Eight truck with three axles is 80,000 pounds. But, you have to be able to axle it out at 64000 rear, 64000 tandem and 12000 front to = 80,000 If the m52 w/trailer weighed 40,000 (not likely) that would leave 40000 for cargo if you could get the axle weight legal...

I have used red fuel (off road diesel just for emergency of course), regular diesel, gasoline with used motor oil (the engine loved this) and laquer thinner with used motor oil. The last mixture ran real good but the cleansing property of the laquer cleaned pulled all the crud out of the system...
