Well old Deuce 1 and modernized deuce 0. This is what 14,000 lbs worth of truck rolling rather backing at you from the bed with no brakes does to another one that can't get out of the way quick enough. Lessons learned: deuces don't stop with the engine off and the air brake compressor not working. When using a logging chain to pull a dead truck and you can't get out of the way of a run away truck, hammer down on the throttle and drag the dead truck up the hill to keep from hitting you. Finally, after checking the damage once the wrecked truck is rolled back,don't restart the truck because the throttle could be hung and cause a second impact just as bad if not worse! Not sure which way I'm going to go with the A3, I'll either rob the modern upgrades and put on the classic and then sell the Caterpillar 3116 and Allison 4 speed automatic to someone who may need one or I may spend quiet a few greenbacks to repair it. It already needed a new cab swap to eradicate the massive amount of rust or a ton of body repair and the bed is used pretty well and rusted bad too. I would like to take the air steering, steering wheel, air ride seat,super single tires n wheels and the bed rails/cargo cover bows and troop seats off and install on the A2. I'm sure there are some other things such as the electric windshield wipers, plastic battery tray, solar battery maintainer kit, marker and running lamps, front bumper step and additional tow hooks, etc that I can swap too.![10407091_1040651799296477_3460777577253114013_n.jpg 10407091_1040651799296477_3460777577253114013_n.jpg](https://www.steelsoldiers.com/data/attachments/377/377519-15ee27d1c7727eb13ea455ed51239ce7.jpg)

At least no one was hurt and it was on some old trucks!
