I just want to say thanks to all the info here and share my experience as a new Deuce owner 
I was looking at getting a deuce after seeing them for sale in Missouri and my fiancee bought me one from a private seller. We live in the city but will be storing/using the truck for now on about 40 acres of my fiancee's family's land. We took the truck today to get inspected at the Kansas Highway Patrol after getting it insured. The drive through traffic was a little tough but not bad. The heater in the truck is off but somehow still blows a little hot air, so I drove with the window down the whole way. The truck averaged around 55-60mph on the highway.
The truck attracts quite a bit of attention, mostly good though. Stopping for diesel on the way off I-70 a former Deuce driver came up very interested and loved seeing inside the cab. The highway patrol inspector liked the truck, as well as the lady at the DMV.
After getting the inspection, I parked it at our apartment in the city temporarily to take our little car and go get the Deuce's plates at the DMV. We have a spot in the back of the building where a lot of neighbors park their RV's. Its out of sight and there's lots of room. Not even before the engine was shut off, an older lady sent her husband out to ask it to be moved. I said sure, we can move it, but she came out and said she had called the landlord to have it towed. I talked to her and reassured her it was not staying, but she did not like the truck at all. Her husband came out again apologetically as I was moving it and said he didn't mind and it could stay the afternoon. I ended up taking it out to a place I can park it out of the city for now, so as not to make any more waves with the neighbors. It seemed his wife had him pretty whipped.
As I was driving out another neighbor drove up and said he really liked it and used to drive one in the service. He was upset I had to move it because he wanted to look at it. He was actually pretty ticked off at the other neighbors, but that's how apartments can be. Some neighbor's get upset when we change the oil on our compact cars, so the Deuce is probably a little much for pansys like this. For any of you other Kansas City guys this is in Johnson County so maybe that explains some of it lol. At stoplights people would look and smile at the truck.
We'll be taking the truck down to a proper home this weekend. It seems to drive pretty well so hopefully it will be a good trip. I'm sure some of you guys have had similar experiences with people seeing your Deuce in a big city
