Your the only one posting asking prices.
Honestly, and not to sound redundant, but its really hard to say without seeing the truck in person. Would need to see if it has any major leaks, how much actual tread is on the tires (these tires come with a TON of tread when new, so to the untrained eye they could seem to have a lot when in fact they are half worn out), the engine/trans are operating correctly, etc... See if there is an experienced Deuce owner in your area and see if they'll come check the truck out with you.
. Between the new tires on MRAP's, adapter plates, hardware, etc... we ended up spending almost as much on that as we did on our first truck.
Deuces tend to be the cheapest in the southeast and the northeast and west coast the highest prices. It probably has to with when the big run of deuces were surplused out Redstone in Alabama seemed to be the major seller of deuces . When they flooded the market in 2007 to 10 you could running driving deuces for $600 to $1000 out of Redstone . Prices were generally much higher everywhere else.Honestly, and not to sound redundant, but its really hard to say without seeing the truck in person.

Based on what I'm seeing (which isn't a lot) I wouldn't personally pay more than about $5000+/- for it, and that's only because of the tires. To put it in perspective, our second Deuce has a winch, hard top, heater, has some rust (mostly surface rust), needs new troop seats, no bows or cover and we paid a decent amount less than $5k for it. Once again it really boils down to how much those tires are worth to you. Singling out a Deuce the correct way is NOT cheap at all, ask me how I know
Valid point, and one that I didn't realize. I've seen some trucks around here with obscene asking prices, heck we went and looked at one before we knew any better (in retrospect I'm very glad we didn't buy it).
This is also a very good thing to consider. I can easily see someone getting wrapped up in the "cool factor" of owning a Deuce and not truly realize what's involved in ownership, driving them, taking necessary safety precautions, maintenance (and tools required), etc... I absolutely love our truck, but they are definitely a different animal. You have to go into buying one realizing that if the truck is going to cost you $XXXX, that can sometimes just be the tip of the iceberg.

Give me the details. Location, with winch or not, hard top or not, stock or not, price. You can pm me if you don't want to put it in this thread.
