Got my Deuce

[mechanix]

Went and got my Deuce toda at Ft Riley. Won it on 8-12. Got my EUC on 8-26. Pretty fast from what I have read. First time buyer also. It's a 1970 Kaiser with a LDT465-1C. Had already been running before I got there. Opened the hood to check fluids and it was already warm. So the batteries were up. A little low on anti freeze. No brakes though. Filled it up and bled the fronts. Needs front wheel cylinders for sure. Wheels were stained from the fluid. Got some pedal and proceded to drive it home about 55 miles. Seemed to run better the more I drove it. Had around 3/4 tank of fuel. I added one can and a bottle of Power Service.

Congrats on your purchase, and many more developing problems with your truck in the future,
it's going happen- just a matter of time.

Oh yeah it needs some tlc. Speedo doesnt work. New top. Brake work. LF door latch needs replaced. I have all of the filters for it and am going to change the fluids in the diffs,trans, transfer case.

You lucky dog. That is almost a miracle for a first EUC. I can't wait to pick up mine from Riley.

I think I got lucky. Bought it sight unseen. They called me yesterday and said someone was there to pick it up and wanted to make sure. Nope I dont have anyone who is supposed to be getting it for me. Sounds like that could be a good scam. If it would work. Good luck on yours. Gonna drive or tow? I only had marginal brakes but not many stops going down I70.

I went up and checked mine out a few weeks after I won it. A buddy who has a deuce went with me as a technical advisor. It starts great and the brakes feel firm. No leaks and all fluids spot on. My EUC was submitted 4-14 and they are still waiting on the demil papers. If the truck was crappy I would have had them cancel the sale. This truck is in great shape and i got it for a great price so I am just going to have to bend over and smile. I think I will call today to be sure no one has tried to pick mine up.

Looks nice! Brakes often need work, are an easy fix, but critical, so check them every time before you move the truck.
