. One deuce is never enough atleast this means you can get a pair of them. i got your truck all prepped and in front of the shop. troop seats and ladder is in the back. Guys randy is gonna hook to old yeller first thing in the morning and head this way with her. she will now be to her new home and be heading towards a full restoration and a life of usage vs sitting in a yard killing grass 
. when randy drops her off he will hook back up to the deuce and head to joes with it. i was gonna post pics of it for joe but i forgot the camera at the shop.

i was planning on it kenny. but it is running like dog poop.. and best way to be able to really drive it home and easiest vs cleaning the tank and new fuel lines and filters was to run a auxilary tank and bypass fuel filter to get it home. but Randy is a guy that lives about 5 miles from joe that has a wrecker service that is the one that actually brought it to joes in the first place. and the price he gave me to haul it is just a little more then it would cost in gas to drive it home. so i just figured we would save the hassles of trying to get it running in middle of joes yard to bring it to my shop were i got concrete floors and proper tools handy.

First things on the to do list,
proper fuel tank,
new bypass fuel filter and flush all the lines,
synthetic rope on both winches, and boom,
fix some leaking hoses and lines,
fix couple leaking pumps,
new set of tires on the truck,
then slowly get it ready for a full restoration and a useful happy life at home
