@hendersond. I talked to the guy about the tires. Sounds like he will deal a little bit on them. The only drawback to it, he lives about 200 miles from me! That's gonna cost a little in fuel

UGH! Looks like I get to rob the gas tank off the parts truck! I let the truck sit too long with an empty tank and the condensation did it no good!

I see some tires on there for 60 a tire. Could probably talk him down a little?

I guess I didn't make that part too clear, I do have a bed, I just haven't done anything to it yet. I will definitely look on Craigslist for some tires!

Yeah, I picked the truck up in 99, but I didn't do much with it until about 2004. I didnt know exactly what I was going to do with it!?

What an absolute waste! They were a big part of military history! Too big to throw away

That was on wheels also

I believe he wanted $80 a piece for 80+% tread. I may be wrong, but that's what I remember.

Thanks Gunfreak! The truck is getting a little dusty! The collision repair industry has been a little slow the past couple years, so progress on the truck has been minimal:( The last big obstacles are the bed and tire purchase. Not looking forward to the tires! I found a guy close to my place...

@stan, I had a look! It's great to see others saving these trucks! Until I found SS forum, I never knew there was so much interest in these trucks! I heard from Memphis Equpment some years back that an individual from Minnesota purchased close to three hundred of these trucks from a very large...

Thanks! I know some might say that the truck was never meant to look like that, but this is the way that I wanted it to look! I took some parts off a newer deuce, like the mirrors, the window seals, and a few other odds and ends. If I have time, I'll get more pictures and post them!

All the guys I work with thought I was crazy painting all the air lines and brake lines separately! I've gone through almost ten gallons of paint on this truck! It really does look nice though. I picked up a sandblasting cabinet to do all the bolts and small parts, all other parts were taken to...

I have the fenders and the hood finished, but they aren't on the truck. The bed has not been touched yet. I started the project in 2004, been chipping away at the mountain for a few years now! It has been quite an experience! I originally purchased the truck in 1999. I got it from a guy in Sauk...

Also, I'm looking at a forum app on the iPad, so I can't see my album on here? Stupid technology! Lol

So I uploaded some pictures to an album on my profile. Not sure how to post them on a thread though?
