Deuce wanted

[joshuaz223]

as i have previously stated i am looking to bob and crew cab a deuce. i have saved up some money and will now start the search. bed will be getting cut so I'm not worried about seats or bows or canvas. just would like a basic truck that moves under it's own power. anyone have something like this for $2000 or should i just start watching the fort drum auction (i only live 30 min from there). also will be needing an extra cab, front springs and mounts. any help would be appreciated, thanks Roy

Your cheapest route will be the GL route. Buy two and use the one in the worst shape for parts for the second. You can recoup part or all of your cost by selling parts off the donor truck.

Roy,

Decodeme has several trucks w/o winches for $2500. I know some guys who have gotten nice trucks from Ft Drum through GL at good prices also. Good luck in your search.

You can also use the springs/mounts off a M105 trailer for the bobbed deuce.
This may be a cheaper way to go than buying the 2nd deuce if your first project is the bobbed one.

M105's are usually fairly reasonable ($200-400) from Drum.

Cheapest way (especially since you are so close) to get a deuce is via GL (once they start re-selling them when this de-mil code issue gets figured out).

Just make sure you do your homework and check them out in person - make sure they start (usually need a jump), brakes hold pressure, clutch seems to work, etc.). You will not be able to drive them but usually you can at least hear them run.

Kevin (the Ft Drum GL rep) is a good guy and straight shooter.

Good luck.

Or you can buy a ready to drive one for 35K ha ha ha.

Sounds like the guys on this thread are getting you all set. A plus from buying from a person is you know what your buying. - Jay
