oh yeah by the way.......great looking truck you got there. Last time i saw the prices was earlier in the afternoon but unless they shot up a ton you didn't do too bad.

By the way, my auction ends in 30 minutes and I'm still the high bidder! If I win I gotta go to Fort Drum NY to pick 'er up. I've got an '02 KW with a Landoll trailer. You guys think I'll have to take the top off the deuce and put the windshield down for height? (If I win!)

No. In the pic the top of the stack on the front truck is right at 13' 6" but it's up on the neck. I've hauled dueces with cargo cover in the flat with no problem either.

first they are big and green some are tan they run on all fuels and have 10 tires

 

[docfarmall]

is that a landoll trailer?

 

[scooter01922]

Looks like it

 

[fabiodriven]

Thanks for all the help, guys. Especially Scoot for saving those pics. Just filled out some crazy forms, gotta go to work!

 

[m16ty]

is that a landoll trailer?

It's accually a Trail King but operates like a Landoll. Only difference is the bed raises right behind the neck and becomes even with the neck in the up position. Unlike the Landoll where the neck and all raises when it tilts.

So i haven't yet even gotten my Deuce and I'm already thinking about what to do with it...

I think I'd like the selectable from axle (air I guess). What are the chances mine already has it? In the auction it said something about the 6x6 being "automatic", so I'm assuming it's a standard sprague setup. Where can I get the air t-case and hardware to hook it up and how much does it cost?

You guys put lockers in the diffs too? How hard is that to do and about how much $? Do the lockers effect street manners?

 

[scooter01922]

Looks like you got the air shift T case already...... Some have put lockers in but i wouldn't know how much cash or effort it takes.

I already have the air t-case? How do you know?

 

[scooter01922]

look very closely at the pic of the interior. You will note 2 panels than hang below the dash. The one closest to the drivers seat is the heater controls and the other smaller one that's farther away and a bit hard to see is the switch for the t case.

Also, it looks like the snow destroyed your cargo cover. Look for unit markings on the truck when you get it, and let us know.

Can't complain too much about that. Most of 'em didn't even come with covers. At least that one may be salvagable...

The auction info had the vin# in it. Isn't there a guy around here that can tell if it is a whistler turbo from the vin?
Nice truck!

That would be helpful, thanks!

 

[kc5mzd]

I don't know how to put links in a message. There is a thread. The guy's name is CARNAC. Do a search for " VIN info ". The thread says "VIN Info-'You may fire when ready, Gridley". I am not sure how much info he can give you on your truck. You could PM him and see...

 

[scooter01922]

Nope, sorry the VIN won't help you there. Pretty much any turbo can end up an any engine. Its an easy swap if you have a d which you probably do.

Hi,

Another brand new Mass guy here, currently in central NY.

I'm looking at Ft Drum listings recently and thinking about heading over there for a "preview" if that's practical due to what looked like "appointment required, no weekends" restrictions.

Anyone been there recently?

Would love to meet up with someone doing recovery in the near future to lend a hand if our schedules match.

Thanks

 

[fabiodriven]

I should be going over there in the next couple weeks for mine. I'm not sure how it works down there, but More than likely it's gonna be my boss and myself in the KW so we'de be at maximum capacity.
