[Aussie Bloke]

G'day everyone,...


Sorry I found this thread so late.

Anyone know of an agent That can import to Melbourne?

I am also looking at getting an M35A2-C with winch and Bow/covers and even thinking of a trailer to go with it.

Neighbors were fine, a lot of big KIDS and there kids stopped by and looked at the herd, the LANDLOAD stopped by, she did NOT like the herd grazing on the front lawn so she REVOKED the grazing rights. I told her that the herd was CAMO and no body would see them, she was NOT amused, some people just take life to serious.

G'day everyone,...


Ok 3 days ago I got my Import Permit Approved!

Now ready to start the shipping process!

Things are looking up,....






Aussie.

 

[Another Ahab]

Love to see a picture of your Deuce, Aussie Bloke. Got any?

 

[Aussie Bloke]

G'day everyone,...


I only have pics that have been sent to me from selected shots I requested for my Import application.

I also have an almost 1 hr Video that was taken by my good friend who went to inspect it for me but I am sure everyone will understand I can't post that because I don't have permission from the seller or my friend to show it publicly as I have to respect their privacy.

I will however flood the forum with pics and Video once I get it here.






This is the baby I am waiting to get home.

Zero rust, Clean as a whistle!

If all go's well I might have my Deuce home by May the way things are going,...

She's a beauty, Aussie Bloke. Nice score!

 

[Aussie Bloke]

G'day everyone,....

She is a 1959 Kaiser Jeep.

She spent most of her service life in the motor pool sitting, she has the rear PTO controls but not connected to anything.
Then she was refurbished in 72 and changed to how you see her with the drop side bed and immediately surplused out and sold to her first private owner who had his own car collection.
This owner died not that long ago and his children wanted cash because they had no interest in the collection.
The Deuce was sold to the first person to make an offer, (the person I bought her from) he got her for a great price!
Not long ago the new owner got the 5 ton bug and sold the Deuce to me for that great price!
Now I have a deuce and he has a 5 Ton and all is well with the world,...


The engine is new and not even run in yet,....
**** the whole truck is like new!

Now to get it home,.....



Aussie.

G'day everyone,....


Ok,...

A few days ago now my Deuce was to be collected but the trucking CO misunderstood their instructions and thought they were picking up a jeep 4x4!
Duh!

Anyway, now they have to get their act together now they know what is to be collected.

2nd attempt at collection soon.



Aussie.

 

[Plane Fast]

Good luck. Looks like a nice truck. Hopefully you'll have it home sooner then later!

 

[Aussie Bloke]

G'day everyone,....


Ok,... The deuce was collected on the 22nd and should be at the port now!
Just going through clearing customs and then on the ship she go's!

That's building the excitement, Aussie Bloke.

What's the plan for "first steps" once you got your hands on her!?
