Hey all. Just got myself a new project!!

I'm new here and was curious if you have any recommendations for transporting my new toy.
It's a 1965 deuce and It is currently located in Stanwood and needs to be transported back to Port Orchard. willing to pay anyone to tow it or maybe you have suggestions? P

Is it drivable? Could always drive it back, though a "recovery" trip with an unknown truck can be hit or miss.

Nevertheless, congratulations!!! I almost bought a '68 M35A2 as my first vehicle and daily driver, as an 18 year old college student.

Was driving and running for the sellers yesterday. Today it seems the injection pump went out. I am not getting fuel past the pump (good pressure up and past the filters)

Thanks! Yeah I only didn't buy it because of lack of money/space (If I'd gotten my dad to go in with me on it as a "project", him being a vintage car enthusiast, and we'd ended up with the 6 acres it looked like we might be living on, I would have snapped it right up). All it needed was tires, it had the original NDTs which were pretty well worn. It had like 30K miles and the seller had just driven it from Michigan to Alaska in a move, so in theory it would have been a reliable enough vehicle for a long distance commute. People usually laugh at me when I tell them I almost bought that as my first car.

You have not mentioned if the pump went out Before you payed for it or arranged the delivery method back home. As to the pump. Is the in tank pump working?. (It might well be as deuces will run without it if fully primed.)
If you have it home? check the fuel filters as they may be blocked. there are three filters.
If still where you purchased/are purchasing it, arrange to check it there, or, have the seller check it for you.

I changed 2 of the three yesterday and still wasn't getting fuel past the pump

Welcome to the club! My deuce isn't ready to help recover yet but I'm sorta on the way, I live near Maltby, so if you need any assistance while en route, let me know.
