Driving a DUKW you cannot even see anything unless its over 20 ft in front of you so the driver prob. did not even see the truck coming at him. I hope everyone is OK and it all works out. I let a guy who was interested in buying my DUKW drive it a little and he almost ran over his own car if I...

You can get a cheap tow bar that will just handle the jeep for less than a $100 bucks from Tractor Supply or Harbour freight and put a pintel on it or get a real MV tow hook for about $300 that will do much more. Make sure the truck is in shape for the trip, no point in doing damage to it on the...

Mine is still sitting in the back yard way up north here. Eddy

Hi not far from you if you ever want to see some trucks I have a small collection and one of them is a 86 Bedford. Eddy

The clone is not a true Alpha and will never be worth what an Alpha is. I cannot remark on what the labor will be worth to rebuild the Hummer but you know what your truck is worth to you. I would imagine that rebuilt and finished the Hummer would be worth up to $50K if it has a salvage title...

Thanks I am doing fine just cannot keep up with all the toys I have and we are downsizing. I have a dozen MVs for sale in the classified under thinning the herd. I will keep a jeep and one truck just to play with but I just cannot keep on top of everything anymore. Eddy

I think you will like the 302 in the DUKW it bolts right in and even looks stock as the 270 and 302 share a lot. Mine was put in by the army sometime in the late 50s as a retrofit. I hope you get yours swimming and running and enjoy it a lot I did mine unfortunately I cannot use it now I just am...

I have a 86 Bedford not far from you. Eddy

Welcome from another member also in the Great White North. Eddy

Its no trouble at all to handle the cheezy fries just add enough salt to get your blood pressure high enough to pump that much grease through your system. Eddy

New oil pump. I do not know if they line bored the block or not it was done at a local shop that does very good work but mostly on competition motors for dragsters. All the bearings look scored but only the first is really bad. 60 over is where we had to go as it was scored last time too. They...

I am stumped I have a 43 GPW that had a froze motor when I bought it I had it rebuilt and the crank bearings looked like they had been oil starved we had to go 6 0 over and did everything all new and put it back together. Put 500 miles on it ran good used the right oil was doing the right break...

I have only moved mine about 300 ft in the last 2 yrs. Eddy

Hard to say what one costs mine is not perfect and needs lots of the little stuff to finish but runs good and floats well its for sale in the classifieds for $50K I have seen DUKWs for as little as $30K or as much as $150K so as I said its hard to say what they cost. I paid $26K for mine $4K to...

Here is part of my corner it will get smaller as they are all for sale now. Eddy

I moved mine about 300 ft today its the first time I moved it in over a yr. I have a hard time even getting up on it now. Should have sold it two yrs ago when I got the offer but I kept hoping I would be able to do more. They are a most impressive toy. Eddy

If you are going to drive 89000 miles home I say NO send it by spaceship. However I now see its 170 miles. I would tow it home with a tow bar and check everything when its home and then you will not get any expensive or unsafe surprises on the trip.
