look what followed me home yesterday. New to me Deuce and genny

67 m35a2
with winch
hard top

i've been looking at these for the better part of a decade with no place to store one. now that i have the place it was only a matter of time.


I need to replace the head gaskets and im sure a general tune up and other such stuff.

i got the power steering mod with the truck but need to install it too

I even ended up with a fancy 102 pound hood ornament.



the wifey jumped on top of the hood. declared that the trucks new name is Pearl and then cleaned the windshields. thats a good woman right there



the gen set I am at a total loos as of what to do with it. realizing quite quickly that it is way too large for my house. I just converted over to geo thermal so my once high electric consumption is a thing of the past.



ok back to figuring out what on earth im going to do with this truck.

Nice looking truck.

Do like the rest of us. Take it to get ice cream, 2x4s at Home Depot and parades on holidays.

Congratulations.

Scrub it up and put a new camo job on and drive it. I got a good one too (wife that is). She said if you want it go get it...

Soldier B!!

Soldier B!!

????? unsure what this means

 

[barefootin]

Treat that hood ornament and your soldier "B" (required for repairs and backing up according to the TM's ) with the love she deserves. My soldier "B" helped me pull all the wheels off my Deuce this past Wednesday (on her day off) to check wheel cylinders and linings for state inspection next month... I didn't even ask, mine is a keeper...

 

[SteveKuhn]

Ah-HA!!!!!! Anyone who doesn't know who Soldier B is has confessed that they


haven't yet read the -10 manual for their new acquisition. That infraction will incur the dreaded wrath of









Boy're you in for it!!!!!

just got the manual at the same time the truck was being delivered.

and from the sounds of it, she wants to be the driver

 

[SteveKuhn]

That's a good thing!

There are also several folks on here that would be happy to give you some pointers on "proper" tie-down procedures the next time you haul that beast. Welcome to the madness.

 

[lonegunman]

That is a very nice hood ornament, with her support you can get green and rusty for a long time. Welcome to the fun, now you can light your neighbors homes and be your own power company in bad weather.

Well then that makes YOU Soldier B.

Nice looking rig. Welcome to the green madness. My wife told me "go get it if you want it" too, but she didn't speak to me for a week after it was delivered. Guess she didn't think I'd actually come home with it.

 

[Flyingvan911]

Nice looking rig! Soldier A reads the TM and Soldier B does the work.

 

[Rmtaunton]

Great find !! Congrats

 

[rustystud]

Rory that is a Keeper ! and the truck is nice too !

I'm near exit 12 off I71. Let me know if you have any questions.

Is it a runner or do you need to do some work to it first? I saw you post something about head gaskets. I'm doing that this weekend.

 

[rory1919]

Gimpy Robb, mind if I stop by and observe for a few minutes?

I do need to do some things including the head gaskets.

Good idea. Practice on someone else's truck first.
Looking for a gun ring for the Deuce yet?
