Left SoCal on Labor Day afternoon, arriving at the house slightly after midnight. The majority of said drive time was spent contemplating how to get this tank off the trailer. My driveway is at a 10-15 degree uphill and the weight was far greater than estimated. It was very apparent the anchors I set in the garage floor would not hold the truck inplace if attempting to yank the trailer from under this monster.

The original plan was to get the 216 running, make it road-worthy, chop off the 1/4 in steel plate bumper and just drive this thing in all of its patina glory.

Unfortunately, a frame swap will have to be the path forward as this one was far too heavy and just an oddity.

Note the coil springs welded to the frame and read end housing to offset the additional weight. A keen eye will catch the location of a jounce bumper in the picture of the spring setup.
