I love it! I would have a yard full of these trucks but my wife won't let me. She also won't let me get rid of any. Go figure.

I took some pictures under it just for the heck of it. I must of been tired when I posted. The winch dad found was 12,000lbs with remote.
Series-wound motor stays cooler during long pulls
Three-stage planetary gear system for fast line speed
Automatic load-holding brake for maximum safety
Free spooling for fast line-out
Cable tensioner to prevent cable tangling
12 ft. ergonomic handheld remote control
Roller fairlead
Aircraft grade wire rope
I didn't even mess with it today been working on getting the AC done in dad's 56. It's working nice.
Talked to my mechanic today going to drive it over to his shop and leave it for him to do the front brakes on it. I don't have a big enough jack to do anything with it.

A few years ago 4Wheel Drive magazine had a 9,000 lb winch shoot out and the harbor freight didn't work out of the box ( I had to go back and reread the article) BUT I have a 12,000 lb on my car trailer and provided they are wired/mounted correctly they really work great .and you can't beat the price .

I've always want one man! I was so thrilled to get it. It's at the shop now getting a few things done that I can't do. Front brake shoes installed along with shocks and e brake cables and bleed out good with new wheel cylinders installed. Carb rebuild and maybe a new HEI cap and wires.

Very cool truck! I love seeing this trucks in the condition as yours is or done up old school style..

Andy4639 · 08-18-2016, 12:16 PM

The truck will stay as is on the outside but the insides and power train will be done right to make it reliable on the road.

Looking at the pics Andy, be real careful the first time you load any low vehicles on there, like the 64. That's an awfully steep and short dovetail on the back, the rockers could get high centered.

Already thought about that. Got some 2"x 8" boards cut for it I think will work ok.
The first test fitting will be done very carefully you can count on it.

I got the radiator a few weeks ago and today I got it installed. The factory clamps work on it but they are not perfect fit. The bottom fit good the tops are lacking but they are holding it for now. I needed to get it swapped because of cold weather coming and I didn't want to waste antifreeze in the old one. I have it all done with the correct mix in her now!
Next is the brakes to get redone. I had the new front shoes installed but they system needs a complete over haul. Drain it all out and put new master with good clean fluid in it.

Great looking radiator. You probably already know this, but make sure you get a fan shroud or your cooling will be nil when it gets hot outside.

That's a 6 cylinder. That finger gourd at the top is all they came with from the factory. My 67 cools fine, and it's a c30 dump truck that I have worked hard with no issues.

That doesn't look like a 6'er to me...

350 v-8. I had the finger guard so I used it. I do need to put a shroud on it I guess. I haven't driven it enough to get it hot yet.This is going to be a cheap as I can do it redo!
