I'm a new owner of a 1970 GM M35A2 Deuce and saw that there was a chapter of members out here on the West coast. My name's Mike and I live in Dallas Oregon. Anyone out here that's close would like to talk a bit about what all you do and gatherings etc.

Welcome from Ohio! Sorry I can't help with west Coast gatherings, but congrats on your new "toy". They are a lot of fun!

Welcome from Kentucky. Post up pics of your GM Deuce. Most likely a AM General deuce.

 

[michael757767]

Thanks! I think you're right on the AM General, but the title does say GM. It could have been wrong for years, no biggy.

Welcome to the hobby, you are going to experience some great friendships and pastimes.

Thanks! Its in the shop having oils changed, belts, radiator fluids, and r/r brake cylinder replaced. Hoping to get her home next week. I have a cab heater to install and new (old) seats when she gets here. Not sure how to post a pic. It seems confusing!

 

[michael757767]

Thank you! I just couldn't pass it up, and hopefully I made a good choice. Its in good shape for 45 years old! Maintenance issues now to get her road ready. If I could figure out how to post a pic I would. I did manage one when I joined s/s but I can't seem to find that link again! I worked outside for a living, not on the computer!!

Welcome from your neighbor to the north.

 

[michael757767]

Thank you and nice picture of your truck! I can't seem to figure out how to post mine so that when I post or reply, it'll show up by my name! Oh well, she's still in the shop, hopefully will be bringing her home next week! Is Stanwood up near Olympia? My dad when he was alive was an antique gun dealer, and worked many shows up that way.

Nope, Stanwood is about an hour south of the Canadian border.

Then click on forum actions, then edit profile tab, if I remember correctly.
You should be able to figure it out from there.
Let's see a pic.
