Looks good. I'd be interested in seeing a pic of the data plate. Looks like an older truck.

I assume you got the TMs?

if not you can start by reading my signature!

 

[cyamaha2007]

What makes you believe it is a older truck? Just wondering. It has 7500miles and 650 hours. Who knows when it was rebuilt

 

[Junkyard Wars Crusher]

Nice looking truck. Congrats. The bed of that truck with the cargo cover on should provide a vastly superior shelter when severe weather hits compared to your previous tent

 

[Recovry4x4]

Low mount headlights were the first indication is was an older truck. It also looks like it has the hinged mudflaps, also an older design. I like the older ones better myself.

 

[cyamaha2007]

your not ****ting. That was rough.

 

[cyamaha2007]

Now that we have determined its old should i not buy it?

Oh heck, don't change your plans for that. Age makes almost no difference when it comes to deuces. If it meets your expectations, buy it. A good number of folks have no idea what year their deuce is anyways.

Beware: your first step is your last.. no going back! Nice deuce!

I like the way the lower mounted headlights look, does it have a airshift transfer case?

cyamaha2007:

Age, in a deuce, is almost irrelevant in the above discuission, it's moree important how it was used, maintained, and it's general overall condition. Ask yourself, how many civillian Light and Medium trucks do you see hauling freight and running on the roads almost daily, that are over 40 years old?

Mine is a 54 Reo, so is Oldgrunts.

 

[Heavysteven]

Does it have a turbo? Does it have an airshift under the gauges? If it is a sprag non turbo truck i would pass. My 2 cents

Your call

Pretty truck from the pic!

Older is relative .... mine's a youthful 39 years old

 

[wreckerman893]

Age is relative....I'm 55 but still hitting on all cylinders....and like a deuce I am slow, tempermental, hard to get started sometimes but still get the job done.
Bottom line is if you are happy with the condition and price go for it....the supply of cheap deuces is dwindling.....as soon as the Guard and Reserves turn in theirs and DRMO surplusses them out the only option will be GSA and private sales.....value will go up.
Price a comparable civy vehicle and see what you can get for the same money.

 

[cyamaha2007]

I picked it up. Ill start an new thread with pics. Its a turbo air shift t case and a hard top.

Nice looking truck-welcome to the addiction.
