Another MV for my daughters inheritance

[muttly]

I've been flirting with the idea of buying a duce, but most were in rough shape or too far away. I hit all craigslist one day and this one came up 30 miles from the house. I told the boss this was a sign from the diesel and canvas gods and there would be a pox on our house if I didn't bring it home. 1970 AM General with a white multi fuel powerplant, came with a trailer, extra tires and rims, extra set of heads still in the box, complete pioneer kit, and a foot locker half full of parts and gaskets including a new air pack. The top was rotten so I bought some canvas form The Chicago Canvas Co. and made a new one. I've been doing the PMs and have found no problems except brake adjustment and two fuel leaks I had to fix.

You did well! That canvas you made looks sharp! I admire people that can do that.

It helps if you have a sewing machine capable of sewing a Cochran to a truck tire!

Very nice looking deuce! You did real good. I hope your daughter(s) appreciate it!

 

[Menaces Nemesis]

Quite often folks post here wanting to know what a deuce in good shape is currently going for... if I may be so bold, would you share with us what you gave for this varied and wondrous treasure? (BTW, I'm particularly envious of the "new heads still in box")

 

[SCM35A2]

Great looking truck!

 

[USAFSS-ColdWarrior]

CONGRATULATIONS ! ! !

That is one of the two questions I get from everyone it show it to. The answer is $6,000.00 US. The other question is "What are you going to do with that?"

say about it?

So as not to offend the English majors in the group, I believe that should be phrased "So what do the daughters say about it?" They say "My Dad is @#%$ing awesome!!" The only question I ever got right in English class was when I was asked to give an example of two pronouns and I replied "Who Me?"

Killer Deal! Congrats! That's a 20-years-ago kinda deal!
When I first brought my truck home 4 years ago, my next door neighbor stomped out of his house, walked up to me and said "what in God's name are you going to do with THAT!" I looked him in the eye and adamantly replied "I'm going to drive it to lunch every day!"

 

[Godspeed131]

Good looking package and a great deal. It’ll look even better with that new canvas. You’ll have to post another picture with the new canvas on

I thought so myself. He originally wanted $7,500.00 but since he top was rotten he he dropped it to $6,000.00. I still haven't sewn my wallet pocket back on, I'm not sure there is enough fabric left.

old guy?

 

[HDN]

Nice combo you have there! That price is consistent with what I've seen for trucks like yours, although the trailer is a huge bonus!

 

[montaillou]

and have found no problems except

Jinx

 

[muttly]

old guy?

Yes. Retired and had the big C. He bought it for a bug out truck.
