Well, as of March 2014, Wisconsin changed it's laws in regards to HMV's, and I found one right in my own town! Picked her up for a cool $4k. This is how I found her:

First thing I had to do was change out a bad boot. I used a zipper boot that I ordered from Big Mike's Motorpool. helluva first job on the thing! I then decided to work on the back end a bit. She looked a little rough. I also did some research on the truck to find out where she came from. I also sourced and added a bridge plate, found a hefty chain to hang on the front for those "wish I had a...." moments.    |

Then, as summer went on, I sourced a cargo cover and bows. My 8yo son and I plan on camping out in the deuce quite a bit this summer and the cargo cover will be worth it's weight in gold! We've already tried it out in the back yard. I then sourced a sugar scoop, antenna, and base. I hope to eventually rig up an era specific radio, but with updated guts in it. So imagine a sincgars shell, but with a modern CB radio, comms, and PA integrated into it. Then, before winter hit us, I installed a coolant heater. Thus far, it has proven to be invaluable.     |
