Newbie questions

The question I have is what is the going price for a duece. Before you ask I dont have set year or model. I am not real familiar with any of these but, would love to jump in feet first. I am in east texas Henderson to be exact and Texarkana is not far if I can pick up one at the armory. Thank you for any response. Sorry if this is not up to this sites rules and regs.

There is no set price for them!

Before you get flamed, I would started reading through the "Deuce" section here. Read through as many of the threads as you can, and get educated.

To answer your question, "deuces" go from free to $10k. It all depends on what type of truck you want (with a winch, with a crane, with a dropside bed, a project truck, a show-room quality truck, etc).

You are in a good area.to pick one up. Texas seems to dump a lot of them onto the market. I am afraid the party is about over though, especially for the M35A2 trucks.

Check eBay, Government Liquidation, Craig's List, etc. Also check the Classified Ads here on S/S. Do your research.

Like the previous posts mention, prices are wide open. Dad and I paid $2,300 and $1,700 respectively for our M35's with hard top cabs and no winch. Yes, one is a bit rougher than the other one but if you are willing to do some work and cosmetics yourself, you can get a decent rig for a decent price. We got ours from GL but it sounds like you have a few more options there in Tx.

I am looking for a project truck to build. I looked over the forum and really like the bobbed and four door conversion. Just needed an idea of where to look and prices they are going for. I understand everything is worth what you want to give for it but, a starting point to compare one to another is always a good starting point. Just because one is listed for a price doesnt mean that is what it is worth. Thank you for all the response and help.

Send a PM to FMJ, he is in Tx and is moving soon and recently mentioned he may need to sell off some trucks. He is a very reputable member.

Try and buy one that is already titled.

That was actually one of my questions how do you get them titled?? Oh and not really worried about the divorce thing my wife has been putting up with my building of projects doubt this one will cause anymore issues than my hot rod dodge diesel!!! LOL!!

LOTS and LOTS of fab experience. And a lot of heavy lifting equipment. Bobbing or adding two doors is a big project.

Titling is easy in WI. But you get a limited license.
