Both trucks are home! Got the second one towed by a local tow agency for $165. The more I look at the second truck I dont know what I will do with it. Its pretty rough. I will post family pics tonight. Going to take the carb off the parts truck and rebuild it. Matt

If I get time tomorrow I will make the trip out and pull the shafts and get it ready for the tow, On a side not I got to drain 28 gallons of ice tea colored fuel from it.....Bleh!! I am betting that once actually flamable fuel hit the carb it will run.

Or I might just belly up and pay the $200 to have the other one towed....:(. By the time I buy the steel, make the pivot brackets and buy the pintle ring, then add in the time....and gas.... . I dont think it will be profitable in the long run. Matt

Anyone know the arm length on the tow bars? would make tow bar constuction EASY. Matt

Having a friend come up this weekend with a 26ft dovetail gooseneck dual dual trailer rated at 25 k. The hard part is loading the little buggers up. My plan is that I will attached the 10 k electric winch via 2 2" square tube arms attached to the eyelets. Hopefully the rolling weight wont be...

OK, so i am back to the flatbed trailer. Best quote I got to haul it 26 miles was $450. So could one of you fine gentelman measure from outside to outside of both of the tow eyelets. I am going to make a jig to hold the 10k electric winch to the front and winch it onto the trailer. (after I...

Ok, so the drives shafts are removed! Now my question is how much does the front end weigh. I am hoping that the tow truck guy can just hook up and hoist it up and drag it aways now. I didnt have a bar to fit the wrench under the cab so the front left tire is still flat. I cant wait to have...

So it looks like I may be towing it back. Its about 25 miles from my house . Other than a flat bed any ideas on towing? I dont want to damage anything. Matt

I just hate to see the 3rd truck get wasted. If he is looking for scrap I would rather he come get a few field blossoms from my pasture than watch some goon smash that fiberglass top. Matt

Mu ha ha ha. I found the missing family member 2 miles down the road, real rough the bed is gone, the tranny is gone and it looks abandoned! Now to find out who owns it. Did I mention it has the same spiffy fiberglass top ! (still intact). rumor has it a guy bought it and was cutting it up...

Sadness.... I dumped some fuel in it and it cransk but wont start. Though about some ether but dont know how that will work with the oil bath. Took some pictures of the parts truck too. No title for it. And a pic of the winch on the good truck. It looks like I am going to have to find a trailer...

Here is a pic of the good truck.. My son fixing his hair... Sounds like I can get the paie for a good price. Big town with a population of 305...

Thanks! The pic helps alot. Now a 40 min drive out to the boondock. And then a phone call or eight to the DMV. The truck with the tank has a new engine. I just hope the trans is ok still. If this pans out I will have extra parts up the ying yang. I will post pics tonight of the...

So just the DA-20-018-ORD-11943 or am I missing something? Matt

OK, so I found 2 m-211 1 with winch and one that looks to be a parts truck (or not). The dilema is the city that got them doesnt know if they have titles or not. I contacted the DMV and they show a listing for 2 50's era truck to that town. Before I drop the cash to buy them I need to verify...
