Deuce and 818 headed south to new owners

[gem1410]

The Deuce is for a collecter in Florida and the 818 is going to a logger in GA--Wonder what the 818 will look like in a year??

Probably will not look too bad, probably just using it as a Switcher on the log landing.

Thanks for the pics.

Pretty trucks, are you out of the hobby for good?

 

[velociT]

Wow very good looking trucks.

Not out of the hobbie yet--Have 26 more to go--I like working on them and when they are in good shape I sell them on ebay--These went cheap--$4000 for the 818 and $3500 for the Deuce with bows and back cover

How do you paint them? I sold a 818 in ga last week to a logger for $6000. They are willing to pay around here. Hes using it as a set out truck. so his road tractors dont have to come into the woods to pickl up a trailer.

what does it cost to ship to FL

 

[gem1410]

I use a top loading HVLP gun and Arevo paint--thin with Zylene--use low air pressure--the thinner makes a big difference--thin 20%--you get good coverage and its no big deal----------------Just sent 2 trucks to Tampa from NJ for $1800 total--I used a guy named Joe who has 3 step deck trailers--his number is706-969-4001

Hi--You just do it yourself--Its easy--Just get a top loading gun and good paint --Power wash your truck down--prime it and shoot--Its alot of fun--hard to make a mistake
