Welcome to the site. Sorry about OU last night. Our family used to live in C-bus and my oldest brother still does. I haven't yet called to see if he has recovered from the game.

Don't ask what street we lived on. I know it was in the university district but I was 3 when we moved.

Hey brother, welcome to the site. Go check out Craigslist Searcher and you will find a Duece or 5 ton nearby you. I would vote against driving that bad boy more than 20 miles to home....unless you get it insured and in your name right after the sale.

I would then recommend setting up a wrecker service to pick you up on the way if you break down. ( keep the number in your pocket just in case )

And in the other pocket keep 500 bucks to pay the tow truck driver for when it breaks down.

I just got a 5 ton multi fuel and thought I was going to drive it home, then I noticed a flat, burned out alternator and then I realized that I haven't driven anything bigger than a Humvee....oh and the brakes were squishy...

Just too many factors to outweigh that 200 dollars it took to get it trucked to my house to tinker on it.

Good luck on your search, there are lots of trucks out there to buy, it is a great time to own these trucks

Thanks for the information Dennis. Hope to have a deuce pretty soon so I can take it to the shows and get to meet some other deuce owners . Is that your truck doing a burn out in your avatar ? Anyone ever get stopped in Ohio and get fuel checked? Stack swabbed? Any one know the laws in Ohio on that ?

Thanks , Yea I have been on c-list and found a few just not what I am looking for . I found a 5ton I wanted but no title . When I get one I have to have a whistler turbo. I am sure i will go deaf lol . It seams to me like around Ohio there is a lot of guys buying them up and trying to sell them like a car lot and make a big bunch of money . I am not mad at anyone for that I just don't want to pay 8 to 15 grand . When you wait and find what you are looking for , for less .

 

[BIGBOYCAPRICE97]

Thanks for the warm welcome and keep it coming if you are close around let me know . What does everyone use there deuces for around here ? I would like to use mine to tow my boat and just drive around for fun . I find a lot of deuces just sitting around not being driven at all . They cant be that bad to drive . I have had a few big trucks in the past like dodge and ford f 350 full size so I don't think it could be to much more to drive the deuce to walmart for a gallon of milk and bread . At my walmart you have to park a mile out anyways even if you do own a small car it is always packed .

I used mine to go to the store for ice cream.

A warm welcome from Cambridge Ohio here. Driving one around for fun is have the enjoyment of owning one. I've used mine as a grocery getter before. And made hauling runs with it as well. It's a very versatile machine. Once you find one you will have a blast with it.

Welcome to the family!
I have a truck sitting @ my house that is just what you looking for minus the hard top...However it is not mine, but the guy wants to sell it! I'll be seeing him tomorrow, so I'll give him your info.

Welcome, I'm just South of you in Chillicothe. I use my truck about every week-end to ferry the grandson around; he loves it. An occasional drive to work and maybe haul a little gravel once in a while. That Tru-Temper No. 2 manual aggregate handler is a little hard on the old shoulders though. I never did figure out how the loader operator gets the heaviest gravel on the front of the truck. Fuel milage is not much worse than my civy 1-ton. Deuce about 8.5, ton duelly about 10. The diesel is a little higher than gas though. Keep your eye out, trucks are plentiful right now, I've seen prices from the $2,000.00 range up to 19,000.00 in our area. A lot are over priced for my blood but good deals are to be had. Be patient but be ready to move when the price is right.
