I went up to SC to visit with SEVO and turn some wrenches on a deuce he has that I have my eye on. We are taking the wench off and putting it on one of his trucks. We were playing around and found some great stuff. It had brand new master cylinder, fairly new and well maintained cooling system and minimal rust! We have to bleed brakes and the such before she is ready for the road but she is soooo smooth. We cranked her up and she was purrring like a cat getting a belly rub!!! That D turbo was cool and clean!! I can't wait to get her home!! Well here are some pics of truck!! enjoy!!

P.S. this will be my first MV and it wont be my last but the first one is always good!! Anyone know what units put the eight ball on the passanger door? SEVO fell in love with it!

The "eight ball" is the bridge weight designation and would be common on most deuce cargo trucks.

Ok here they are!! No those tires in the bed are not for sell. At least not by me and they don't come with the truck! Last pic is of SEVO's deuce! My flash did awesome at night!

Hope to get her paid for and home soon!:-D

Yup Good times!!! It was awesome!!! Never had to use a cheater bar to wrench off the nut the whole way before!! That was interesting!! Now just need a crane to pick it up and slide it off!!:-D

I noticed the lady smiling in the picture with your truck. That doesn't seem to happen often, at least around my house! Keep her. :wink: Congrats!

for an "old lady" she looks pretty young :razz:
That's not Air's "old lady" That one is MINE :D.. The more MV's the happier she seems!

I think she likes them more than I do!!!

We rode around all day in that deuce with flags on it and she was smiling the entire time.. I think I'll keep her

Just purchased an XM 211 (1952) The old guy I'm getting it from said it was from a great rescue attempt that he was on. How do I verify numbers?

Thank you!
