Ha! I'm literally in the exact same position as you. (Age, etc.) I have a slight possibility of a potential Deuce acquisition next June, though. And yes, it would likely be a commuter car. Some people think it's really cool, everyone else thinks it's completely ridiculous. Regardless, the...

Don't own an MV yet but have a possible Deuce acquisition within the year. Coworkers came up with a great idea: "Greasy Deucey" (Running a Deuce on used cooking oil). Mine was "The Pallet Jack". (You know, those hand-operated ones). Idea being that it would fit a lot of pallets for those...

Ok, another bizarre thought: How about completing the DMV road test in a Deuce? And would a 809 or 939 series 5 ton be OK for a CDL road test?

I agree, the 5 tons, particularly the later 939 series, do look a lot better. But those aren't multifuel but I think some early ones were. Like you, I have great access to used motor oil. And will be living in a city with a lot of fast food places.

Yeah for me it's wondering if the university will let me buy a parking slip for a deuce or 5 ton! Wow, a 5 ton as a daily driver? That's pretty neat!

I'm in the exact same position as you! In fact we have the same name as well. I have a potential project 1971 Deuce that could come my way next June. A friend is trying to get rid of it and nobody wants it...so I may end up having it given to me. The whole story can be read in this same...

Interesting and duly noted! I intend to be in the SLO county but would love to eventually meet other members! Soh does driving every day not count toward being work? Laws always have bizarre loopholes! And would personal use like hauling firewood or moving house count? And thanks for the...

I haven't yet checked but that's a good idea! How long did yours sit for? And it's still a year away anyhow.

OK, starting to figure out how much work this could be as well as what it may cost, etc. I know from what I've read on here that it ill-advised to just take off cross-country in a 40-odd year old truck which has sat dormant for an extended period, but if possible I think that's what I...

Yeah I must admit I am excited already. I've read California has strict laws about older diesel vehicles, do they apply to a private, nor for hire vehicle I use as a daily driver to run errands and commute to and from college and work? I plan on keeping this truck stock except for...

Another newbie to the Deuce and 5-ton hobby here. Got "hooked" about six months ago, which is kind of funny and ironic since I've been around Deuces in the past (Rode in one once) and thought absolutely nothing of them at that time. Been 'Lurking' here for about a week and a half, and joined a...
