New Deuce is here. Parts Bonanza Too!

[todds112]

Well my truck got here today right on time today. Here's the thread on the purchase: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?124691-Finally-coming-to-fruition!!-Getting-a-Deuce!

I think I got a really good deal. I paid $6,000 for the truck. Cost me another $1,000 to get it shipped here. I think 6k would have been fair for the truck itself but it included literally a load of parts!

I'm exhausted just from off loading everything. I have identified most of the stuff, but there are a few parts I'm not sure what they are.

So I got 13 new tires on rims, several lug wrenches in different lengths, 2 soft tops and hardware (one top still new in package). 3 canvas end curtains and a canvas cargo cover (new), top bows (new). 2 extra side windows, extra staves, new exhaust: j-pipe and upper section, Another instrument panel and 2 extra gauges, A new in the wrapper winter front (not sure if there is any mounting hardware with it), a box with what I think is a new vinyl cargo cover. Some shackles and a new old stock snatch block!! Several extra seat cushions, but they are in pretty bad shape. Might have 1 decent one. A new slave cable (ends are still packaged), and air chuck and hose.

Here are some pics of the loot:

I think I have some stuff that doesn't go on the truck.

Anyone know what these 3 round poles are for? One of them has a couple straps attached.

I think one of the tops I gave is a cargo trailer cover. It's also new. Don't have a trailer though. Could those rounds poles be parts of a trailer too?

This is stamped on the truck cargo cover. It's canvas and has the separate end covers. No idea how to install these.

Looks like you scored big time !

 

[todds112]

I thinks the parts value might almost catch up to the value of the truck! I might sell off some of the extras I dont anticipating using,

Nice score on all of the extra parts no one thought about taking off the truck before it went to DRMO. Your shipping bill will vaporize after selling off any of the extras you don't want to keep! How about a few pictures of the truck itself?

The round poles are for the framework that supports the cab canvas.

That makes sense, Thanks!

Now How About this rods. Adjustable on one end.

Here's the beast. It's says it's a 1959 on the data plate. Still has the old OD green on the inside. Interior is in great shape, but I do need a driver seat back recovered.

Those last three adjustable rods look like the rods for the ends of your drop side cargo bed. They hook into a slot in the floor, then into a fitting toward the top of the bed sides.. They'll keep your dropsides from moving when the tailgate is down and will make it easier to secure the tailgate.

Ok I'll check that out! Found it in the TM, you are correct. They call them "Stabilizers". Thanks!!

Very good looking truck all around, you made a steal of a deal on that one. Post up anything you don't want to keep or don't need!

 

[todds112]

I'll definitely be getting rid of some stuff I don't need. Once I get it all sorted I'll post up some stuff in the classifieds.
