were closed today so i couldnt get in the gate .. and web site dont tell me much ...what should i look out for while
inquiring about one.. or should i just wait and do gl?? there ...www.[B]samwinermotors[/B].com... what do ya think

GL is a crap shoot. With Sam Winer you'll get a truck ready to go. I'd make sure it has a air shift t-case. Everything else is just personal preference.

 

[joeypushjr1]

what ball park you think ill get hit up for as far as what a place like that will charge for

 

[gimpyrobb]

6k.

6k.

Heck, I'll sell a nice one for $5k and deliver it.

why air t- case

why air t- case

The sprag shift t-case is ok as long as it's working right but they're a pain to keep it adjusted and working right and the sprag is just something else to wear out. Every sprag case I've seen wasn't working right either from needing adjusting or just plain wore out. Unless you're going to restore to factory specs a older duece you want the air shift.

Get the airshift! Don, if you make it to Ohio, stop by for that 1009 rear seat!

I got a deuce that came with a newly rebuilt engine in it and is a winch truck that i could possibly be persuaded (sp) into for that.

I'm in the market for a Deuce too, and I'm having a hard time figuring out what people are paying for them when they buy through GL. Just trying to figure out if it's worth the hassle.

You can get some good deals on GL. It is best to inspect first if you can. I got lucky with my Duece as I bought it site unseen. It was the worse looking one on that sale. The bed showed patches and rust. The other 12 were fresh out of rebuild so thats the ones everyone wanted. I got it for $1240.00 plus the fee and taxes. Took batterys and it started right up. The bed had been swapped off another truck. The rest was in very good shape. The alternater was missing was the only problem. A friend of mine just bought 2. One he inspected and paid 2150.00 plus fees and drove it home. The other site unseen was an excellent truck. His max bid was never tested and he got it for $1750.00. All it needed was batterys and started right up. It even had some goodies in the tool box. My advice is if you buy from GL stay cheap unless you can check the truck out. You just have to watch all the sales and be there at the right time.
