Picking up Sat

[Rmtaunton]

Going to pick up Saturday, Well I hope to. I am purchasing Saturday and if all is good or simple field repairs, I will be bringing her home or all the way to the wrecker one.

If bigger repairs are needed I will make a list come back and get those parts or have towed.

I need to find a spare 395 close if anyone has one to borrow or sell.

wish me luck

Robert

And I will be heading from Roanoke VA. to Smyrna GA. south on 81 to 75 south so if you see a deuce with a guy with a big grin in it give a wave

So exactly how will we be able to tell you from any other deuce drivers in the area?

 

[Rmtaunton]

Hope everything works out well for your trip. it's a nice looking truck! Perhaps give the airpack a quick lube before you head out.

Good man!

Good luck with your deuce, think of all the new gadgets you will be able to add on such as a remote a oil reservoir, spin-on oil filters, backup lights, LED lamps, and everything else to make it into YOUR truck.

Your smile can only get bigger!

Oh I am sure it will need lots and lots of things ! They are like kids always wanting more and plenty of attention if its anything like my other 5 jeeps

Nice looking truck. Hope everything goes smoothly for you.

 

[Rmtaunton]

Thank you.
She will be my first Deuce, previous owner cut the sides off of the bed , hopefully he did a clean job if so I can weld a bottom plate and hinges on

Nice rig. And a winch is always bonus.

Well, I have all my parts, fluids, filters, tools, and misc. Fix it buckets ( compression fittings, hard lines, soft lines, flaring tools , seals, felpro, rtv, hoses belts, etc etc) and so much more it looks like I will fill the longed f350. Leaving at 730 sat morning to pic up spare from another great member , through Chatanooga then up I81 to Roanoke to pick her up. From Roamoke south to Charlotte on 77 then south to Atlanta. If anyone is on the route and offers a place I could make repairs if needed would be wonderful.

Thanks again for all the help I have found here and encouraging responses.

If you want to replace the butchered bed with a drop side PM me.

I'd address the big tires on stock rims ASAP.

Still a nice looking truck.

I believe that puts you over Monteagle Mountain in TN; now there's a right pretty drive. Best of Luck!

 

[Rmtaunton]

I agree as soon as she gets home her first upgrade is at least two wheels for the steers hopefully all.

Thank you WM I will do that as you are close to me in Smyrna and my camp house in Valley, AL, which is where she will be living.

 

[Rmtaunton]

If anyone is on the route , it would be great to hear a hello just in case , thanks again everyone .

I'm in Charlotte literally 5 minutes from 77 at the NC/SC state line. Shoot me a PM if you need my number. We're actually going to be out and about tomorrow with our Deuce and a 5 ton doing a recovery.
