You must be Pedro's cousins with the sweet hookups!Originally posted by bomar76:<br />email me off list. bomar76athotmail.com..they really aren't very $$$ and I can hook you up w/ my source.<br />Here is what needs done to it:<br /><br />Ran FANTASTIC from London OH (where I bought it) home. <br /> <br />Took it for a spin later and evidently I had stirred up all the garbage in the fuel tank...the fuel looks like pureed pumpkin now....and it began to miss and loose power. <br />I am going to drain the tank, change all 3 fuel filters, and purge the lines tomorrow if the secondary fuel filters arrive in the morning. <br /> <br />Other than that, it's good to go. I need to replace the window weather stripping, install a new fuel shut off cable, repair the E brake, replace 1 of the air operated wiper motoers (wiper works, but is missing the manual lever) and fix the horn. <br />No big deal, seller included all the parts. <br />These trucks are about as moron proof as you can get.

It's gonna be my son's daily driver when he turns 16 this fall....<br /><br />What safer thing could a adolescent boy drive?<br /><br />56 MPH top end <br />13,200 lbs empty (crash survivable)<br />6 wheel drive<br />10-13 MPG (will keep him busy earning fuel money)<br />great father son project<br />Value will always increase if we take even minimal care of it<br />Insurance is VERY cheap (I'm paying $65 a half right now for me with full coverage and $10,000 value)<br />Dependable as can be.<br /><br />Beats the hell out of turning him loose in a ricer.Originally posted by eeboater:<br /> Ok, I read through this whole thread. You didn't explain why you bought it?!<br /><br />Sean
No CDL as it's only 18,200 GVW, and anyway it is a non commercial vehicle so it could weigh 500,000 lbs and no CDL would be needed.<br /><br />I'm tagging it as a historical vehicle so tags are a one time fee of $21.00 w/ no renewal required. <br />Can't get much more historical than a Viet Nam era deuce!Originally posted by eeboater:<br /> I thought you were joking! I can't imagine seeing him pull up to class in that thing.<br />Don't you need a special license for large trucks like that?<br />Sean
