I think I own two deuces!

[mikey]

The auction is over (gl) and they show up in my bid history as "High bidder". Is it pretty much a done deal?

If so, now the fun begins!!! I have never had an EUC, so I realize I won't be getting them until March / April.

Did anybody here check out the deuces at Mechanicsburg?

Both trucks have flaws, but I figure with two trucks I should be OK.

Cool part is I set a budget of $3700 and I got both for $3711. Now to start shopping for tools!

Congrats, you did good.

Now get rid of one and focus on the other.

You can always buy a second one next year.

good deal, sounds like someone needs to buy a med. tow bar! I know where one is for sale in Md

 

[ODdave]

Na, keep em both. I think you got a good deal. they look to need a few little things. Plus if you get one stuck you have a backup! I know this routine well......

I got the other '66 Deuce at Mechanicsburg... I hope its a runner if not, it will be!

I wanted a 60's deuce for my dad (well, me.. but he gets to ride in it) and just by dumb luck the first truck i ever bid on is a 60's era and I git it.

Its only 70 miles away!!!! WOOT!!! Start the EUC countdown clock!

Couple of reasons I got two. First, in a worst case scenario, I may need parts from both to make one good truck. Secondly, I'm keeping them in Lake Como, PA which is in a nice snow belt. Eventually I want one as a beater for plowing and reocovery and the other for show. Finally, my wife is going to f'n flip when I bring these home. Better to have her flip out once than twice a few months apart.

Anyone in the Scranton, NE PA, Binghampton NY area, PM me. I should have one of these running by spring.

Mikey, Good job!!!!
I won a m35 on Nov 4th and I am waiting on my EUC.

I am like a kid with a new toy and can not play with it.

I got mine for the same idea... if the CCKW breaks down having a $1500 tow truck is most likely cheaper than the cost of a tow home!

Would like to have gotten the winch truck but I had a limit and this was close to it.

Called my dad to tell him and he said he would start saving motor oil for fuel. Gotta see if I can get some pics of him in 'Nam so I can get the unit numbers right.

That was a very nice one (as far as we can trust gl). It starts, it's clean, good mileage, heat, nice paint etc. I didn't bid on that one, but I was close.

Congrats!

Thanks for that. I the truck with the gauges missing was my 'backup' truck, and i had the one with the winch on the watch list.... but my limit was $1800 and the others went over that. Had two or three guys pop in to bid once or twice otherwise I would have gotten it for around $1200.

Post when you do your pick up.... maybe we can help each other out. I used to work at NAVSISA (well, as a BAE contract employee) on the Naval base... there is an Old Country Buffet right outside the gate... good eats.

GM-M1008, good call!

like i said, keep em both just in case something like this happens LOL.

P.S. theres 395's under there

Do you know what unit he was in?

Thanks Albert, I know I'm gonna feel the same haha. Right now I'm happy that I have time to figure out the logistics, find transport, and get some new tools. However, I know after the first month I'm going to be going nuts waiting.

Off the top of my head no.. but he should He was an MP. He won't say much because of my mother. I think he had a dog because some of the pics have him and a German Shepard.... he only lives 10 minutes from me.

The winch deuce was a must. I'm hoping that truck just needs brakes, guages and batteries, but with gl, I've heard it's a crap shoot. Either way, with the winch being worth $1k it's like getting the truck for $851.

I pm'd you my info. Definitely be interested in helping each other out if the euc's permit.

Guys, take a few minutes and save your truck pictures, then post the pictures on this thread(not the links).

GL links go dead later on.

 

[paulfarber]

Truck porn!

I'll definitely get in touch come pickup time.

 

[paulfarber]

I let an M35 winch go about 2 months ago off Craigslist.... $395!

If I didn't win an M35 there was a closed cab CCKW in York that I had my eye on.

SO either way the other half of the garage was gonna get filled.
