Let the fun begin....

Exactly 2 weeks from the date I submitted the EUC I received my notification of approval.

Looking forward to heading out to Sparta next week to pick-up my new
(to me) 1971 M35A2 w/w.

Went out earlier this week to look it over and get a general idea of road worthness and feel with new batteries it should be GTG. I used the "Systematic Inspection Procedure for the 2 1/2 Ton Truck" GTA#9-1-185(1- as a guide, as this is my first deuce, and everything looked OK.

We will see how the 120 mile drive home goes.

Pictures to come once it's in the drive way........home owners association is going to love this

Hopefully you've addressed this issue, just so we don't have to read another "my HOA is ticketing my Deuce" thread.
Happy trails on your recovery!

Good luck on your recovery. If you need any assistance when you get it home, let me know, I pass thru Hartford a few times a week.

Yep, working on it. I have a few options, just need to figure out the cheapest.

Thanks for the offer drgreg. If you see me motoring around town, be sure and introduce yourself.

Y'all going to be in this years parade?

Never know. We may do a classy town like Hustisford.

Never know. We may do a classy town like Hustisford.

We typically volunteer at our church and help out during during the Gtown parade.

150 miles at 50 mph running at 2200 rpm........forgot hearing protection
made for a long drive, but I had a grin ear to ear!

The batteries I bought were too big to fit in the box, so Seth jumped the deuce for me and I left it running all the way home, including while I fueled up. Only gauges that worked on the drive home were tach and speedo, but when i made it home went back to NAPA and swapped out batteries for ones that fit and presto, ALL gauges work. Brakes were great, no issues at all.
Now i need to work on removing the siding and plywood to get back to a bare bed.

Looking forward to all the fun to come!
just a couple of quick pictures.
