Respectfully, I will have to disagree on the 60 front statement. All 4x4 1 tons (they started in 77) got the 60 front right up to the body change. The V30 and V3500 got them up to 1991.

Grrrr. If you come to the GA Rally, I'll buy the chow! LOL

Sad that you are so far away, I have a use for an M116A2 body.

I don't think overdrive is the answer. It will make an empty truck faster but you probably won't have the power to tow in OD. If you need towing power on the cheap, sadly, a 454 gasser might be the answer.

It is your turn to show your IQ. Many have tried what you propose and many have failed. I pointed out the obvious but if you feel it possible, do it and show it off. Your right, not rocket science but A/C can present it's own challenges. Let's be real here. If it were easy, all the M1010 owners...

I can use the tank of no one wants it! LOL

Welcome aboard from S FL.

What a great way to get to know your new truck. I have owned about 10 deuces and every one tbat could have been driven, was driven home. Those that couldn't, rode the towbar. Congrats on a flawless recovery.

Bingo! The diesel option from GM was half the cost or better than the other 2 of the big 3.

Sounds like they are humping right along. Ar-Kansas, getting closer every minute.

They stopped in Memphis? Crikies.

Let me add that these are fees imposed by Durhamtown. The rally itself continues to be the best value east and west of the Mississippi.

Good news. The one thing I forgot to add to his list was an assortment of compression fittings. During one of our epic, 2 auction deuce recoveries, Devilman96 and myself suffered a catastrophic nylon fuel line failure. It was O-dark thirty somewhere between towns. 30 minutes later with diesel...

Single handedly the person with the most hands on knowledge of the swap.

That is a super nice A2. After some 20 years in the hobby, the 686 is starting to wear on me.

Wonderful news. This the way deuce roadtrips are supposed to be. Trust me, you are not the only one that was ever sceptical of the windshield trick. Not one person has ever reported that it wasn't hands down the best way to ride.

Are you saying he may need a trailer behind his trailer? Just make sure you measure his loadout for height.

I'm glad to see it being sold by someone who knows deuces, not a flipper. That's great news for the buyer.

Folks, we are 62 days out. I hope everyone is doing better than I am at getting prepared. Much work to do on truck and packing not only for the rally, but moving some stuff up to my retirement home. Get stuff done folks. Save cash folks. Check swap thread folks. Load trailers folks. Remember...

I've been using the 12 ton stands for many years with no issues. Floor jacks are a different story. I spent money and bought a Hein Werner.
