Deuce to the Scrap Heap

[KaiserM109]

This is a '62 2 1/2 ton truck in Western Colorado that is getting parted out. The owner does not have the title (probably never transfered from the government) and he wants 2 of the axles for another project. It reportedly runs.

Is there any interest in the parts? The cab is reportedly off of a 5 ton (??).

900 series cab top maybe? deuce and 5 ton cabs are the same.

 

[hndrsonj]

Yes, inst cluster, mirrors, and radiator if its an origional gasser one.

 

[grounded]

hey jim i might have some guages and such for you off a gasser when i do my multi swap if you need them.

gotta find a 250 cummins cluster for my other truck also.. if anyone has one.

 

[hndrsonj]

Oh, and the cab looks origional the hard top looks like a 900 series.

if window frames aint rusted up and a PIA to ship im interested

 

[Jinx]

LOL at the writing on the dash.

Thats a very dry looking truck. I see no rotten steel at all. Even the windshield frames look good. Is it an M35, M45 or what? That would be a nice restore! Hey Jim, I have a pretty nice pr of the older 2 bar mirrors that mount to the cab cowl left and gun leg mount on the right if you need them. Not too much interested in them for my stuff.

Data plate on dash says it is a M44, M45, M46, M57 or M58.

There is no title. The owner only wants front and 1 rear axle for another project (probably a CJ-2!!). That being said, there is possibly a trade that could be made.

Is that a military bed?

 

[hndrsonj]

Kenny I have a set of those. I could not tell if these were the 2 bar ones or the really old single bar ones (which I need). If I can't find them i'll just modify the 2 bar ones I have. Where is this located? I'll be passing through CO down HWY70 around 20th July.

The hardtop is definetly a 900 series. That's how mine fit when I tried to install it on my Deuce. Overhang just didn't cut it.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Jim, there is one single bar one on the blue M59 but it has a non stock head. I can be yours too when the truck arrives. Best pic I have is attached.

Jon, ya want to make a trip with your deuce to Grand Junction?

I just spoke to the owner and he wants to keep all 3 axles and the transfer case for a monster Chevy Suburban. If I had numbers on what people will offer for parts, I might consider a recovery. There isn't much that I actually want. I'm guessing that the truck minus 3 axles and bed would be 6 to 8 thousand lb.

Engine does run. Guessing from the dash plate, it is not an overdrive transmission. Would there be anything of value other than the cab and front clip? Is that of any serious value to anyone?

PM me if you want to talk $$ in private.

For small stuff, I might be over there with my deuce toward the end of the summer.

I need the headlights, front turn signal assemblies (both), wipers, and the three lever light switch.

Let me know what sort of price for all of it.

 

[drgreg]

I need the stars.

 

[Flea]

I need to understand why people cut up trucks for "A WICKED AWESOME ____ MUD TRUCK!"

There are plenty of 14 bolts out there.

Has he looked at the t-case? I would think it would be way too big for a Suburban. I sure it's a sprag also.

I did a deal with a guy like you're talking about with a M49. I told him that I would haul the truck to my place, cut the axles out, and bring them to him. Trucks are alot easier to move with the axles under them .

 

[FreightTrain]

Aw man,Why couldn't that be closer.I would pull a the axles off my parts deuce and trade for that one!Would love to have a gasser deuce!​

If it has a multi feul engine I sure would liek to get it and the transmission. But, I have no idea how I could arrange transport.
