I think all of the members here want you to get your Deuce and also have a great experience. Don't get the fever so bad that you overlook the long term costs of owning and maintaining one. These trucks are old and will require ongoing expenditures to keep them rolling. Just make sure you won't...

The cheapest route is hearing protection. Lots of memebers have experimented with mufflers, rerouting the exhaust to rear(original location), sound deadening ETC. I think I'm keeping it simple and cheap. Appreciate the info.

My State Farm agent would only write as a commercial policy. I'm about ready to get it on the road and will check again. I think the pictures scared them. I will put only few miles a year on mine.

Glad you got started in the sickness. Now go find a winch model to pull it out. That's my plan anyway. Whats up with the reflections on the passenger side windshield, is it plastic?

Just think of it this way, You just potentianally raised the auction price of the item you want to bid on. :cookoo: Welcome to the addiction from another LA member.

Looks Awsome! The attention to detail is great.

Mine was the points. I don't remember having to remove much to get the magneto out though. I'll try to find some pic's and stuff and PM you. I remember asking for help when I was having a problem. If I can find the thread, I'll copy it here.

Welcome to the site! A lot of good information and people here to help you when you buy in.

Welcome to the site! You met a few of the members already and there are more near you. The support of Steel Soldiers forum will be a big help for you, as it has been for me. Can't wait to see you at Tim's Rally this year.

Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
