Lookin' good Dave!!

Re: Daverods 52
 

Thanks Alan. Still looking for a s10 frame. Guess I'll go with the bigger is better and go with a 8000 or 9000 lb winch. Took the 52 in and had th trans guy set the tv cable. He tighten it alittle kicks down quicker now. I have alittle vibration in drive line. Guess that will be my next fix. Then maybe some new back tires.:smoke::lol::lol:

Re: Daverods 52
 

Went with a 8000 smitybuilt. Should get my car hauler this week. Can't believe it I missed a 1951 COE in great shape. Sold for 3000. Only on CL for like 6 hours.

Re: Daverods 52
 

I'd kill for a COE, I've seen a few around but they were pricey. Def worth it but timing is everything. CL is my best worst friend LOL.

Re: Daverods 52
 

Years ago there were 4 or 5 COE's in a yard in Springfield, Id (between Blackfoot and Aberdeen). This was in 2005 I think and he wanted $3000 a piece for them back then. I haven't been there since so I don't know if they are still there or not. All of them were the 47-54 body, some long frames some short frames. The yard in Wendell Id has a bunch of them too.

Re: Daverods 52
 

I'll have to check that out.;) I would love to get a coe. I was just at Springfield.:sumo:

Re: Daverods 52
 

you guys are lucky, out here on the east there are like no salvage yards for antiques. the only one I know of is Budds in Ohio and alot of his stuff is rough, like most of my stuff. I gotta get out west sometime and scoop some up.

Re: Daverods 52
 

:metal: My first car hauler trip. Taking the old work truck to Fo#d heaven.:lol::lol: I beat the hell out of that old truck.:waah: New winch worked great. I do need to add some more metal to my design. or lack of.:smoke: 6000 lbs at 140 a ton. I think I made out.:lol::lol: I'm pretty sure I got my $$$ worth. Now I have room for one more truck.:metal:

I saw him at the Emmett cruise middle of July and hauled him and the Mrs around town in the convertible . He just enjoyed the scenery and the beverages.
They were headed to the coast of Oregon for a vacation. So he does not make it back, or we dont hear from him soon ,I am taking the 52, as I am headed for his side of the state in September.
I already have my car hauler, and several hand winches, Just wish I had a power winch like you guys!!:lol:

Re: Daverods 52
 

The 52's sitting in the garage right next to the 66 and the 64 is sitting in the driveway getting some rust on. When the snow flies I'll get back on it. First I need to kill and go for a big bike ride, oh ya I still need to buy a bike.;)
