I get your point. But.....everyone has a Multifuel. I too love the sleek sexy look of the G749 series. Most of all though, I though this truck would suit it's intended purpose very well over an A2. The Th400 and 455 setup is a match made in heaven. Very durable setup and better suited to small...

Thanks for the info, will be doing a complete inspection of everything upon arrival. It will be fun working on this old girl this winter....1am....cold......tired.....Ernest Tubb playing on the CD player.... Here's some more pics

I will be sending out the payment for this truck by Friday! Here's all the pictures, edited to make the dark areas lighter. I have access to all the tools I need, and there are two auto parts stores just down the road. The truck will be right in my backyard where I can work on it at night...

I spoke with Jack this evening. Great guy to talk to, knows his stuff. Yes, in fact Jack was the original purchaser of the truck 15 years ago. Haven't been there but I have seen pictures. Heck, he said if I lived closer he'd hire me on for some help around there. I'd be a kid in a candy shop! I...

Well guys I lucked out, I spoke with the owner of Jacks Government surplus in Tucson and he not only used to be a previous owner of this same truck but he will help me get it shipped to Yuma for about $250. He has lots of connections. The world is still full of awesome people, you just gotta...

I have posted this in the transportation needs section, but with no luck. I have contacted numerous shipping outfits, but with no luck. Here's the poop. In a couple weeks I hope to be the new owner of a M211 Deuce. The truck is located in Sahuarita which is close to Tucson. The owner said that...

Darn, I am having a hard time finding anyone in Arizona who will ship the M211 Deuce I will be getting in a couple weeks. It is located in Tucson but I live in Yuma, so it's not that far away but the tires are so-so and I don't trust it on the road yet. One place wanted $900 to ship the truck...

I will be buying an M211 Deuce off of a guy in mid June, and I hope to get it shipped here on a flatbed soon after. Don't know if I will go the Uship route or not. But if anyone here thinks they could lend me a hand in getting this thing to Yuma, let me know. The seller said the truck starts and...

Well I spoke with the owner again. It has fresh oil in the motor and tranny, repacked bearings, rebuilt master cylinder, rebuilt all wheel cylinders on front and front rear axle, new points, plugs, radiator hose, brakes bled, good deep cycle battery, cleaned out gas tank, B&M floor shifter...

Well I think I made my mind up, I have a few questions left to ask the guy first but I think I'm going to go ahead and get it. His plans were to chop it up if it didn't sell, but I am a history buff and would hate to see the old girl get butchered. It should be a fun project and it won't be...

Well I spoke with the owner of the truck this evening. He was a really nice guy and we chewed the fat for a little bit. He said he would take $2000 for the truck. He said it runs well, but needs a little work. It's practically complete, aside from a few small parts. For the price, I think it's a...

My M211 find I have a lead on an old 1954 M211 deuce and i'd like to know if the price he's asking is any good. He wants $2500 OBO. The only thing I know about the truck is the engine has been swapped with a 455 Oldsmobile with a 400 turbo. The truck has been sitting idle for 2 years, and when...

I agree. Unlike vehicle parts, I have only ever used electrolysis on firearms where we want to retain as much of the original metal finish as possible whilst also removing as much rust as posible. Wouldn't make much sence to use electrolysis on a truck part, only to sandblast it later in prep...

Electrolysis works very well for removing rust, here's a post I made on the subject over at the surplusrifleforum. In fact it was so popular among surplus shooters at the board it was made a permanent information sticky. This is a small scale job, but technically if you have a wall charger that...

I saw both of this guys video's a few days ago myself. Personally, I think that is a lot of unnecessary wear and tear. Between the bouncing off the governor and that thick black smoke pouring from the stack I think one of these days his rod is going to blow him a new air intake in his hood.

Very nice CT :D

As said above, I do not want to join the Military just to get a job or buy a truck. That would be very foolish, to say the least. The truck would just be a little extra gravy. There are numerous reasons as to why I want to join. Millions of men before me have fought and died for my freedom. This...

I found 2 M35A2's in here in town! Went to look at them today, poor little truck was sitting way back in a corner of junk with broken down vehicles all around her. I couldn't help but open her up and climb into the cab to get behind the wheel. It was that very moment that she and I had this...

Just what I wanted to know, thanks for the help guys! Might score a deuce for $3000 or less, now it's all up to "the man" with the dough. :lol:

Could you guys post your deuce maintenance routines? -What motor oil your using -What fluids your replacing and how much of each? -Routine maintenance tips My uncle and I might be driving up to a place in So Cal to pick up a deuce and we'd both like to get an idea as to how one performs...
