Insurance is the easy one. My allstate agent has been great with the coverage and with start stop dates for my Porsche. Tags shouldn't be a big deal either. In PA you don't even need to go to a DMV. Sooooo easy.... Pricey.... but NO lines!!!! Hopefully Dave will be sending the title to a...

After emailing Dave and asking (so, if you were to load a duece and drive 2000mi, what truck would you take?) he's recommending a truck that's a bit further out of my price range. In order to keep the credit card happy & as a safety in case everything on the trip goes wrong, I think I'm better...

So I've spent the weekend reading your posts, travel stories, plus manuals, grease schedules, and the like... I've started running the early finance numbers... and mapping... and imagining the look on my sisters face when I stop for a visit! You guys are seeming to confirm what I initially...

Thanks again for all the advice and words of wisdom / encouragement! If the rest of the country is half as helpful as you guys have been I should have no problems even in the worst case scenarios. Ok... maybe No problems is highly overstated..... I do plan on upgrading my tool kit and will be...

Again... Thanks for all the info! I've found the receiver hitch adapter, most of the tow light information. Some sound words of warning and even a few of encouragement. I've e-mailed Dave for more information and have a feeling I'll be joining your ranks w/ my own deuce soon! Any other words...

Wolf Man THANKS.... I WOULD like to listen to a radio.... I was figuring a boom box w/ d-cells, but those converters are just what the Dr. ordered.... So lights.... solved.... ANybody know if it's possible to put a ball hitch on one of these monsters?

Other info... I'd have the sports car on the trailer if I ever did need to pull it off and drive to the nearest service station. Plus I'd have a good friend of mine -also mechanically inclined- with me...

How often d'you guys take your trucks on long trips? How often do they break down? I'm assuming (big assumption based on reputation and feedback) that the guys at Eastern would (if asked & paid) take care to inspect and make sure that the truck was ready to go big miles w/ a load. I wish I...

Again thanks for all the input! This forum is SO much more helpful than some other car forums that I am a member of. I agree w/ gimpyrobb (thanks for the AAA-RV hint!) that the move will be stressful enough as is, but since the real state market tanked I'm NOT going to make the money that I...

All good advice! Keep it coming..... 1-Yes I am mechanically inclined, but probably won't have the tools on hand to fix it if something goes wrong. Unless it's minor. 2- Slower's fine. My new job comes with 4 weeks of vacation + flex time so if it takes me 1 week or more to drive across...

M1075..... I would already be towing a trailer with a car and the duece that I'm looking at does have bows and a cover. But how high are the bows and cover? They look to be 8-8 1/2 ft? Also, Eastern does have a hard box truck (10' high inside) for sale as well, which I could see turning...

Perhaps I should add.... I will have a general set of mechanics tools (3 toolboxes, 2.5ton jack, ect.) that I use for my other cars with me, (although I'm sure that most of my wrenches and sockets are too small to effectively work on the duece). I also have a AAA membership, and would try to...

Hi. I currently live in Crested Butte CO, but have a house for sale just outside on Philly (home of eastern surplus) & will need to move everything out here when the house sells. -Is anyone interested in a 3bedroom in Morrisville ;-) (sorry I have to ask....) Anyway....From eastern surplus, I...
