My Deuce!

[EF-5]

Bought my deuce from a guy in Morrison, TN last week and drove it almost 230 miles back to Atlanta, GA. She drove wonderful, even in the pouring rain! Just started a little restoration work. She's insured and ready to go. The odometer reads a little less than 17,000 miles. Its a soft top, but has an immaculate bed and the heater works great!

Let me know what you guys think of her!

Congrats on the purchase. How much did you give the previous owner, if you dont mind me asking. I am taking my time looking around and will get one soon.

Thanks! And not all, I got her for $2900

Congrats on your deuce. She looks good! Disregard the miles on the odometer as the gauges get swapped often.

You might be able to get some history on your truck here:

youre welcome!

first, the price is pretty good, congrats on that...

At a quick glance I see three things...

I do see DRMO on the hood, so this guy is most likely flipping the truck from GL... did you get a title? thats very important...

If you don't have a spare tire in the bed, you should get a spare. They shouldn't cost you much at all.

You should consider getting front tow shackles... Not urgent, but always good to have..

good luck

Yeah I noticed the white lettering and figured he was flipping it from somewhere lol. He did have a title but lowered the price since it wasn't essential for registering it in Georgia. I'm not going to lie I held my breath the whole way home from TN, but was very grateful that she made it home. No problems yet. My dad drove a lot of them during his time of service and he believes it's a good one. It looks good to me so I hope he is right

Thanks for your reply!

Congrats!! I bought mine from a dealer who flips them from GL auctions as well, but he also does the leg work in getting the State Police inspection PW and when he sells it to someone, it is road worthy and everything works. I paid $3,500 for mine so you got a good deal.. Keep it running and it will never go down in value.

Welcome from another GA. MVer, are you in Atlanta it self, or the suburbs

That is a nice looking rig, she would fit in quite well around my place. My youngest son could not care less about my deuce. My oldest son wants one, he loves to drive it. I hope you enjoy yours like I do mine!

Not sure I would worry too much about a spare, there are 4 of them on the truck already. I would check the bearings and brakes first. I had a bearing go out on the road and it wasn't cheap or fun at ALL. I think you did really well at that price. I certainly wouldn't sell any of mine that low!

As long as you are at the top of the hill..........

Very nice truck. Drive the heck out of it and enjoy!

 

[EF-5]

Thanks for all the views and replies! I am definitely planning on attending the GA rally in October. The guy I bought it from has a mechanic that looks over the truck from head to toe. He put in new batteries, changed the oil, made sure the brakes were in good shape, and verifies that all the gauges work! I am very pleased with it

It does have some surface rust mainly on the hood and on the front of the cab. I've been sanding and priming for the past few days, but it's starting to look a lot better!
