Your truck will definately need batteries, just being in Burton I'll bet you will be able to get someone to help you with recovery. Shoot, if you could round up a tow bar I might be able to help you with recovery. I know my dad will just be driving his off the base, but I'll be with him in my...

No notes about the truck, but I'm sure it will start. Like Bob said the biggest worry is about the brakes, just let us know if you need some help!

I think the "$600" comment was to this meaning...hardtops went for $600 last week in another auction and these deuces at Selfridge went for approx. $1200 so we got the hardtops for $600 and the rest of the deuce for $600 (although you are right not many, if any at all went for under $1500) so we...

I do not have notes on any of those trucks, were they soft tops? I did not look at any trucks with soft tops. I'd expect them to start as the other 20 trucks that I tried all started. It is a 50/50 chance they will not have brakes.

I know where some are available in private sale with and without winches, and they aren't much more than GL and you will not have the hassle. PM if you are interested.

I'd like to get one of those, but I will have to save up a lot more! Our house is alread wired up for a generator, so when the power goes out I am always on the phone begging someone for one. If I had one of these babies I wouldn't be begging anymore.

15 is pretty young, your principle is going to freak out when you are driving that to school next year. They will probably tell you not to drive it anymore. I thought I was young at 28 having one, but I guess I am getting old!

Mattg, it depends how young you are... when we hit the switch on 5666 and as the air built up and the horn started blowing, we shut her down and said that is enough as if the "666" wasn't enough of a bad omen.

5666, whoever brings new batteries will have to disable the horn as that is stuck on. 5640 had no slave cable recepticle, so you will have to bring batteries. I have some other notes on trucks too if you have questions. Bob is right at least half had no brakes.

nkawtg, do tell...which truck did you get?

I don't think the winch truck went for the highest price either, but that was because it was pretty rusty! Does anyone know if any went for under $1000...I don't think any did, but some went over $2000 which kind of surprised me. A lot of first timers!

I got my dad a sweet one, the one he wanted above all the others! I had to stick with it as some people kept bidding, but they all stopped and the win was posted at 5:00 PM! Congrats to BobH who won 2 trucks! Hope everyone is happy as dad is with their trucks. Here is dad's truck for...

You really think it will be January? I was hoping for a repeat buyer like myself it would be faster. After my first one cleared it seemed like everything went much quicker after that.

Well, dad just got his truck. I had him on the phone for the last 2 minutes and he was yelling, "Come on, come on!" He is excited. He paid a little more than what I thought he would have too, but still $550 under his high number. Plus I will add his "Harley hauler"

I've been driving the deuce, but I just got my registration today; so now I can officially drive it! The tires ride sweet, it hauls...I passed a motorhome the other day on the interstate. It was the first time I'd ever passed anything! I started passing another car and then it went faster...

Well, my dad and I just got 2 of them for minimum bid out of Lansing

Just got my authentic historical plate registration today, cost $35 and my uncle already had the original 1952 plate! Plated insuranced and I'm now ready to take plart in all club activities!

congratulations, the long wait is definately worth it! We are all looking forward to seeing your recovery.

so Mitch are you wanting to preview at Selfridge? As stated above Joe's cell number is in the other thread 2x...Call him early and I'd be at the visitor's center of the base at 7:45 AM making that call. Hopefully it all works out for you.

Many spider webs were stuck in mine and my dad's hair! They will probably rebuilt tonight, so guys be ready!
