Got me a Deuce for a 100 Dollars

[1968 Kaiser M35A2]

Although she is not something you would restore do to all the rot I did get some good upgrades for mine. Main items are an air shift TC, heater and a good drivers seat frame with springs and shock. Started parting her out yesterday. I do not know who put runs on her side but she don't. There was actually another rotten 4 wheeler buried under her rears. Happy times.

Congradulations on the save.
She is extremely good looking for a truck in your state that has been abandoned.
Parts are good for the hobby but she may be able to someday drive herself down the road with your help too.
Good luck,

Great price for a DONOR TRUCK - Congrats

Wow, $100? That's incredible. You know, that truck doesn't look all that bad. Got a ton of good looking parts on that truck

 

[fuzzytoaster]

Means "runs in place" haha. Nice find.

I don't know if there is a demand for 2 1/2 ton Rockwell axles in Hawaii but around here you can get $1500 for a set of one steering axle and one rear axle.

I was going to ask if you wanted to double your money until I saw your location.

Any time you can get a truck for less than scrap price you can't go wrong. I bought one for $200 one time but it was in alot worse shape than that one.

Got me beat, but I did get a M54 for less than $270 but it got T-boned on the recovery ride home by a BMW. Danm drugies.

Good price on some good parts!

I do not know who put runs on her side but she don't.

They all used to run at one point. Good score.

"Runs great. Won't start."

or

"It ran when parked."

Wouldn't it be an air operated front locker, or am I missing something? I don't think I've seen an air shift transfer case.

nope you are missing something. there are 2 types of transfer case's. air shift and sprag. air shift is the better of the two. it gives the operator control of when he wishes the front axle to pull.

Good find. The truck doesnt look all that bad - looks better than mine did when I got it. I restored mine and it's been treating me good ever since.

Deuces have all open differentials, with no lockers. What the airshift does is it used air to shift the transfercase so that it powers the front axle. (Like going from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive in a pickup truck.)

I gotta say alot of you say how she doen't look to bad. Well consider her like that girl you see at 50 yards and shes walking toward you and as she get closer you think, "Holy catfish" my impure thoughts just got ruined. Well as you get closer to the truck you can see she is a rust bucket. I am about ready to head out and put the hot wrench to her and finish the part out. I'll save an axle set and see if I can come up with cheep shipping. The front springs are still good for a bobber project. BR, Griff

Drink more beer, she might start looking better.......

make a bobber w/super singles, transplant a big block or something into it

and turn it ito a beach buggy as you live in hawaii

Let me know if you want to boat those to SF, once my EUC clears and I pick up my truck I would be willing to drive down there and pick them up for my bobber project.

 

[drgreg]

I guess a Deuce for $100 is about right since am XM820 is only $590 in HI.

How much for a HEMTT, $925 ????
