newb question
 
So I just got my truck transported from my old home to my new one and I would like to get it cleaned up and ready for work before it gets too cold out. But here is my problem, it does not run and it is sitting in my garage. I want to be able to pull it out of my garage and into my driveway to give it a good wash down to get all the caked oil and dirt out of the front end so that I can put the engine back in when it is rebuilt. the only thing is, my driveway has about a 10 degree downgrade from the garage which makes it impossible for a little guy like me to push it back into the garage (my wife refuses to help me and I dont want always bother friends to help me push it). The only thing that I can think of is put a nice sturdy bolt or two into the concrete floor of my garage and pull it back in with a come along but I would hate to cause a crack. Is there an easier way?

Thanks for any help.

If you have a back door to the garage, you could hook the come a long to it and pull your truck back to the garage. Only reason I say that is I have a back door I could do it through.

I have pushed mine around with my riding mower a few times. You can also use a car or another truck to push it back into the garage. I put an old tire in between the bumpers so as not to damage either one.

YUP! I agree on the lawn mower thing. My brother-in-law has a tranny shop so most of his jobs won't pull themselves and his "towtruck" is a John Deere
