Will anyone be near Johnston Iowa to inspect some deuces at Camp Dodge on March 6th? PM me please! Also does anyone have storage facilities? I may need to leave a truck over there for a few weeks until I can arrange transport. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

If I may throw in my 2 cents, As stated earlier in this thread, it is difficult to find local ads. It would be great if the classified ads would show in the title where the items are located. I'm looking to buy a deuce and check the classifieds daily. It's a pain to have to click each vehicle's...

Is anyone going to preview the vehicles at Camp Pendlton in California for the March 3, 2009 auction? I would like to talk to you. Please PM me. Thanks!

Once you get it or decide not too, please post pictures. I'd love to see it.

I low balled one of those A2Cs. It was a good learning experience overall, but yeah. They went for too much money. Figured if I got it cheap, there would be plenty of money for repairs.

Well I'm still looking, FWIW. Got to be a good truck around here somewhere.

That video is amazing Ezfeed. Thanks for posting that.

Thanks for the info Datsun. I just don't think I have the guts to risk buying something with that much risk. Sorry for the auction discussion MR. I didn't know the rules.

I'm eyeballing the deuces for sale on govliquidation. There are 4 of them at Fort Lewis. All of them say the engines do not turn over. Any idea if that's just due to bad batteries, or could the engines be seized? Any ideas what my risks would be buying one from auction?

Ooh, it has an air seat as well. Makes for a much nicer ride. :-D

Update: He called back and I checked out his trucks. Really like the one with the "D" motor. It drives great, minus the soft brakes and nonfunctional speedometer. Unfortunately the guy wouldn't even entertain offers on the truck and I didn't have enough to pay full price. :cry:

Checked out the truck today. It was a fixer. Not too surprising given the price. I was hoping the cab was in better condition. Looks like it didn't have a top for quite awhile. The bed was nice, and the tires were in great condition however. I wound up calling the guy in Tenino and drove down...

I gave the guy in Tenino a call this morning. He didn't answer his cell. I left my number. I f he calls back within an hour I can look at his trucks today. If he doesn't, I couldn't look at them until next Sunday. (I only get one day off a week)

Great advice Barrman. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the info guys. I'm going to look at the truck this Sunday. The asking price is $2K. If I like it, I'll offer less of course. There are some other leads I've gotten here on the site as well and don't want to be too hasty in my purchase. Maybe it would make more sense to save up a bit...

Please excuse the noob question. I'm going to look at a deuce for sale this Sunday. It has a sprag front differential, which I've read can be trouble prone. How can I tell if it's working properly? I assume there is no lever to engage 6x6 mode like there is with the air shift trucks. It' just...

Great to hear CurryRA! I just may take you up on the offer. Thanks. :) I thought I was the only one that wanted a deuce around here. Its great that there are so many people around these parts that own deuces. When I get a truck, we need to schedule some kind of get together. We could have a...

I talked to Brad Milne. That guy is a wealth of information. He said he's got a bunch of trucks that run and to stop on by to check them out. Impressive fellow. He couldn't meet me this weekend, because he will be out of town. I want to get together with him the weekend after to check out his...

Oh yeah. Good ol' Frylands. I can't believe that area doesn't flood every year. It's so low in the valley.

How would I verify the sprag is working? With a typical 4x4, you engage the 4 wheel drive and turn left or right (on dirt of course). You can feel the truck pulling and pushing at the same time. Would this method work on a deuce with a sprag front diff?
