That's funny. I call mine the Ice Cream Truck and everyone looks at me funny. I have only had mine for 2 weeks and done a parade. brought the truck to 3 Cub Scout meetings, driven it to work, date night with my wife. an elementary school event, parent teacher conference, grocery shopping, the kids to school. Hey there are tons of things I haven't used it for yet...

I sold my jeep Cherokee three days after I got my deuce home. It is now my daily driver, which is funny because it actually gets better fuel mileage.

Change out the NDT's with actual Commercial truck tires and your mileage and handling will go up more. Get a set of lock out hubs and you'll see even another mile or two per gallon out of her! If I get a chance at another deuce, I'll swap out the gears from 6.77/1 to 5/1. Will lose a little bottom end in High range... but driveability goes way up for around town and highway use!

The stock gears are 6.72:1. The only alternative gear option is 4.90:1.

That's also $3600 worth of gears for a deuce. Might be better off using the OD gearset a member here sells to keep the low end and gain top end.

Apologies....Not enough Caffeine in blood yet this morning 6.72/1 and 4.9/1.
I have seen other ratios...but have been unable to find the link to the supplier this morning. Again, I'll blame the low caffeine!
Edit: Darnit.... I was thinking about the gear sets I found for my M813 5 ton.... NOT for Deuces.
Carry On.

Assisting local veterans so they can participate in parades (2 so far this year); they actually use a truck dock that I back up to so they can get in the back because most of them can't climb up anymore; I even bring a step ladder but the dock works best for them. One guy came on board with a walker.
I install temporary handrails so nobody falls out
In the second parade the Post won a First Place trophy for their entry- they were all really jazzed about that. Not shown is the color guard and camo'd golf cart.
Me with my daughter riding shotgun.

There was a deuce (might have been a 5T, not totally sure) at the end of my road when I was a kid. I remember playing on it for hours!

Mine is a giant vacuum. It sucks up all my time, money, and energy. Takes a little blood and skin too when she's angry.

OK, just being sarcastic. You're right, no one has given me a bad time about my trucks yet! I guess I read the newspaper too often...
