Re: 1955 Tupelo Mississippi Fire Truck...Elvis!
Got the body off to the sandblaster. Here is the luck I had with a trailer that used to have a portable welder/generator on it. Welded some structural 2" angle on each side and placed some pieces left over from some beams I used in my house, then screwed the wood to the angle. The cab rests nicely on it and I secured it for the ride with 2 ratchet straps hooked into eye bolts-same ones I used for the bed lift. I just pushed them up thru the cab mounts with big flat washers inside. It towed like a champ! Big plus is that I left it on the trailer and removed the straps. The sandblaster will cover the tires and protect the bearings in the axle from contamination. You can roll this around with one hand and little effort.
