Nice looking truck. My deuce started life as a smoker too. I put a turbo on it and adjusted the timing towards the turbo setting. Let me know if you have any unanswered questions about the swap if you plan to do it. Congrats on the truck again!

...I do know that deuces dont fly very well when jumped off of a hill. The suspension and the motor mounts dont hold up. That was fun explaining..........

OK, NOW you've got our attention!

We are all waiting to hear the rest of this "Flying Deuce" story!!

I was a driver for my Supply Sgt. while wew were stationed in Kuwait. We were making a supply run to Camp Doha from our post. The trail that we were on was completly flat with the exception of ONE very steep drop off. I was bet that I could not get the deuce off of the ground....... I left the top of the drop off in 4th gear, wide open. We earned about 50 feet of frequent flyer miles but I failed the landing test. We broke the rear piviot axel, most of the leaf springs on the front and the motor mounts. The mechanics had to bring out the 88 and pick the deuce completly off of the gound to get it back to the post.

Those were my younger dumber days though..... I think.....

PS: What did you win in the bet?? opcorn:

PPS: I HOPE you checked to make certain that the Deuce you just bought isn't the SAME ONE YOU JUMPED!!

I won a trip and an exlpination to the CO.

This deuce is not the same one (I hope)

No, not that video. I started at the top of the hill and came down..........to a sudden stop!!

 

[Pawnshop]

Yep, that's the one I was thinking of, poor Deuce...
