My first deuce from Ft. Knox...

[Numbers]

Did not drive it home although it would start and run. No sense in getting an unwarranted ticket. After arriving at Roger Laws military yard we took a better look and stock of the purchase. What we found was a vehicle in reall good shape. Brand new cover over cab and bed. New tire for spare. A solargizer for the battery. A mysterious locked box that after busting open and expecting treasure all we found was a wheel chock (better than nothing we concluded). A half tank of diesel. Records and manuals in the glove box. I guess the surprise of it all was the only issue that was found was low on some fluids.

Stayed and talked with Roger Law a while. Great guy. He has numerous hardtops and (complete kit and working) winches waiting for a buyer. He is a reasonable guy and has many more spare parts (especially for deuces) than I would know what to do with.

Here are the pics of the day.

Nice, looks about the condition of mine in Frankfort.. At least when that EUC clears

You have a nice truck, if your here in KY we'll have to get together with the others.

...and the rest of them...

Absolutely, would enjoy that. You mentioned Knobs Creek in one of the messages. Sounds like a fun place to pull up and take care of excess ammo also...

Used to go there frequently and now it is only once in a while.

Now I have a face to go with the voice! Good deal man! Glad to see you got it and its in great cond.

Knob creek is kinda a blast. Again I am a city boy with country leanings so I enjoyed it. I like gun shows and besides being a good one there is a TON of ammo for sale, plus all sorts of other crap. Would be a fun place to get together as it is fairly central in KY, and meets twice a year. They have a place for military vehicles plus a huge lot.

I do not shoot there, too expensive to play, but watching people use WW2 flame throwers and shooting ever known machine gun known to man all at the same time at explosive targets is a sight to behold

Nice interior by the way. You plan to keep it as is or BOB it?

 

[Numbers]

I never thought it would be this nice. I half expected to "get what I paid for" after hearing horror stories on here. However, the ice storm prevented anyone other than military access to the base and drove the prices down somewhat by nobody being allowed to preview the equipment. I think it will stay this way for a while but will probably change my mind next week

I can ask Roger Laws if he would like to attend because he appears to have so many spares it is a good thing to know him. Thanks again to Gimpy for the connection.

Nice Trucks Congrats on the score!!

I got mine in the same sale, I'm coming down a week from Monday. We are planning on driving it home. Did you have someone pick it up from the GL yard for you?
Can't wait to get mine!!

Very nice truck. Did you have any issues pulling it?

 

[Numbers]

Roger Laws did the towing and can pick it up also. He knows the P.O.C. there at Ft. Knox also so it makes everything that much smoother. If yours was at the Ft. Knox lot then congratulations also. Lots of nice trucks there and some even looked nicer than mine

If there is a problem driving it call Roger Law and he can be out on his way in little or no time. Just tell him Les sent you or Chris... I PMed you with the contact number.

No problem towing it just a few hills (Muldraugh Hill and one other) between base and Roger's place. Could have drove it but no sense on taking a risk on those particular hills without the brakes gone over more thoroughly than a cursorly glance.
