All,
Thanks for the input. I was thinking that I'd made a pretty good deal but I've heard hippiedude's quote a couple hundred times in the past two weeks.
I had been watching GL for several months and saw some really nice trucks come and go. I saw this one in Texarkana (which should only be about 4 hours drive at Deuce speed) and thought it might be from that late 80s contract with the dual brakes. I was hoping to find one cheap but they seem to have been going for more than I wanted to spend. On the last day of the auction the high bid was only $800 for this truck when a bunch of other trucks across the country were at 4 times that. I was nervous about bidding because I didn't know if everyone else had overlooked it or if everyone else knew something I didn't. The odds of the latter being the greatest. Despite the odds, I put in an auto bid for $1775 (the Marines will appreciate that number) and went for a run. When I got back I realized I had won the auction and then I really got excited.
I'm still a little reserved though because I haven't actually seen it yet but if it is a runner with the dual brakes I'll be pretty happy.
Now to figure out how to title it, get it insured and find a place to keep it. Winning the bid was the easy part.
