Go talk to your state's DMV about an in transit plate.. Most states offer them and a title isn't usually needed because they are exclusively for moving purchased vehicles.
Good idea to figure out what registration and insurance will cost you ahead of time... insurance can be tough to get...
Still hoping to firm things up after the new year. The issues I have run into so far are that we will not have access to a lot of roads because they get used as snowmobile trails in the winter... Still searching out a good location to hold it. Need to contact the Office of tourism and commerce...
Too subjective... one persons issue on one truck may be the correct procedure on another one. These trucks were built by multiple manufacturers and over a period of 40 something years. Some things get changed over time.
Electronics is not my area of expertise, but I would guess that it is wired through relays, resistors etc and probably would melt down if you direct wired it to 24 volts.
If you are going to take it out anyway, hook it to the feed to your heater from your other truck and test it that way.
Private fire dept, it will never show up on GSA. Only Government agencies dispose of property through GSA.
Private Depts have to keep a piece equipment in use for an agreed to amount of time, then it is theirs to dispose of anyway they like. Could end up on Govdeals, but most likely would just...
I would start by bypassing the switch. I bet 80% chance the problem is with the switch. You can run a new feed to it without removing the heater.
Worst case sell the core and ducting with a blower in unknown condition. I would knock about 50.00 off of what you would have asked if the blower...
Maybe we should have some transparency so that members understand the cost to operate the site.
Because of bandwidth many forums will not let members upload photos, they have to be hosted elsewhere. We can upload photos here... With the bandwidth this site consumes it would not surprise me if...
I bought a 16 ft utility trailer off of a dealer in MO a few years ago... As part of the deal they were delivering it. They showed up with the trailer behind a La baron Convertible... No Kidding.
He said it was how they saved on fuel costs..
The first question is are you buying or selling? I have seen new ones listed for 1800.00 Are the selling for that, That's another question.
Air-o-matic still makes these, new from them they cost about 3800.00... but that is a Halliburton Hotdog price of course.
Put cardboard over the grill to increase engine temp, run her a little hotter.
Crack the front windshield open a hair.
Careful at you get farther north... Deuces don't do well on slippery blacktop.
Looks like premium membership has been a huge success so far... Even with all the naysayers, by my calculations the forum has made between 1200 and 2k in less then a week.
1500 is possible... It is hard to think in terms of dollar signs until you start selling stuff. You can compare prices with Ebay listings to get an idea.
Personally I would end up keeping the engine, winch, fuel tank, tail lights, drive shafts, and tires for spares. By the time you keep what...
Right, but it is still just a want ad for a service, it isn't asking for advice. If a benefit of being a paid member is that you can post classifieds wouldn't that qualify?
The same argument could be made that people buy broken trucks from GL and GSA and need parts, so the wanted ads shouldn't...
It doesn't come up on here often enough that picking up a deuce from GL does not always go easy. I would just like to mention how expensive this truck would have been for somebody if they had bought it and tried to drive it home 400, 800, 1200 miles...
JC was lucky he only lives 50 miles from...
