I called Gulfway this morning to insure my deuce. Still waiting for a call back...

My EUC arrived last night. Couldn't pick it up from the post office until this morning because they required a signature confirmation. Total time from request to arrival was 22 days.

Patience is good. I've been looking off and on for several years. Finally I had enough cash and got a beauty of a truck. The wait was painful, but they payoff was well worth it.

FWIW, here's a photo of my air tanks. You just turn those little petcocks.

Welcome to the site sir! :salute:

My truck came without the radiator guard. The mount for the bridge plate came installed exactly as you see it. All I did was add the numbers. So I'm guessing it was used without the radiator guard. How is the radiator guard mounted to your truck?

My deuce came from Draper, Utah. It's a good truck. Just keep watching those GL auctions. Welcome to the site!

...check the belts, hoses, brakes, cracked/bad tires.

Too bad about the glass, but you sure can't beat the price of the truck. Congrats!

Just wanted to say thanks to Maddawg308 for the bridge plate numbers. They look great! I've attached a couple of photos taken right after the numbers were installed. It was raining at the time so I got pretty wet. lol

Marvel's is good stuff. I've used it in cars in the past. I have a 1984 with loose main bearings that quiet down by using the stuff. I know the motor is on its way out, but at least it is quiet. GM did not make a good 4.1 liter V8 in the early 80's. It says on the bottle it is safe to use in...

FWIW, I changed the oil for the first time in my deuce. It was a learning experience when it came to positioning the Baldwin filters properly. (May go for screw-on style in the future) I added 2 quarts of Marvel's Mystery Oil with the SAE 30 Rotella oil. I swear the truck runs quieter now.

Congrats on the win!

Has anyone ever filed a claim with Gulfway? They may be difficult to deal with if the truck is damaged.

But your truck looks great!

I think it would seep out around the in tank fuel pump cover. My deuce has some old diesel residue there which I think is due to this very thing happening. There are 10 screws that hold the pump in the tank, but there is no gasket. It's just metal on metal. (at least that's how it is on my truck.)

Welcome to the club! As everyone said before, do your research. Make sure it has the LDT465 engine and not the 427 that was common in the M35A1 for a period of time. The big thing to do is decide what you want on the truck and what you can live without. A basic truck with no cab heater, soft...

Got my in tank pump installed yesterday and the truck was primed and started with no problems. Thank you Olympic Controls! I love how easy these trucks are to work on, even if everything is oversized.

Dude, it sounds like this truck will be a hassle for you. Maybe you should give me the guy's number and I'll take it off his hands. :razz: j/k good luck with the purchase.

If I had the space I'd be all over that truck. Gassers are rare and a bit quieter than the multifuels from what I've heard.
