Ooooh, soft top frame!

SON!!!!!!!Ya done good.....the radiator would scrap for 50 bucks at least (if you got lucky and it is good then you really got over).

Keep all the good parts and sent the rest to China (via your local scrapper).

Use the profit to buy the guy a cold one.....he did you a solid.

 

[The G Man]

Great buy..if you can't it hauled..I will give your 40 FOR IT

Is this a bidding war I give you 100 and live closer.

ya,whats left of it, now i gota figure out how to get it home.

Yeah, I think that one is going to take more than some fresh fuel and a couple of hot batteries.

Great find though.

 

[rosco]

Yeah, pop those shackles off and hook on a tow bar. But really, a roll back would be a chinch. Otherwise I would use a car hauler trailer and a couple of sheets of 3/4" plywood, and a 5 ton come-along. You could get it skidding up onto a trailer. That is a great find.

Dis assemble what is left and trailer the parts in a compact load. Parts truck on a plate kinda.

Don't forget to take pics of the recovery to post here.

 

[pa.rich]

I vote for dragging it home.

 

[RAYZER]

Hey thanks for all the recovery ideas, acually was thinking about striping it down to just the frame and motor/trany (like xm sugested) to make it easyer to move on to a trailer, have allready been removing some parts,next i think ill drop the fuel tank so not to damage it,thinking about using it on my deuce as a second tank, most of the rest of the cab is shot, but ill save what i can. what does half of a frame, motor and trans weigh?

 

[bbf]

nice find

 

[SCSG-G4]

Motor is 1800, transmission and T/C another 300-500, tires 165-175 each, front axle 400+, cab a couple of hundred, plus the frame, in my estimation. Who has something more exact?

you could donate that to the deuceless (like me). Someone might like to sit in it and make motor noises

Didn't Johny Cash do a song on that? ya ,rented one of those 18' tilt back trailors and drug it on and off, it sure has come in handy for spare parts!

 

[earnie]

lol!!

this would make a very good run stand for engine overhauls = rebuild your engine and put it in there to run it tweak it b4 installing it in a good truck

Yard Art or a ideal rec room decoration!!
To think how surplus dealers would buy up stuff like this all the time as residue from the gov't to use as parts for other trucks they bought.
