I have decided to trade my bob deuce for a deuce tanker.
I will be leaving Thursday evening and going to Davie, Florida where the exchange will take place.
My intent is to drive the tanker back if it is road worthy.
We should be leaving early Monday morning.
My return route will probably be:

Davie to Wildwood via the Turnpike.
I-75 to Ocala
HWY 27 and Alt. 27/19 to the GA line
HWY 19 north through Thomasville and Albany
HWY 520 to Columbus, GA
280/431 to Anniston and on to Gadsden

If anyone along that route would like to be on standby for rescue or recovery please post or PM.

And if you see Murphy keep him busy till I get by.

Damn thats my old town, who you buying the truck from? To bad your not going to be down there for a couple of days as I could hook you up with a buddy of mine ( Fred) and he could show you his extensive MV collection. Also Harold Stancils place is on 27alt ( exit 354) right there in Ocala. If I remember right, Russell Deeses shop is in Georgia just above Tallahassee. Pm me if you want some Ph#'s

Well, he made it to my house and left without major problems or injury. I bet that hoist block left a mark his head though.
