I don't want that to happen again, thank you very much. However, the day you start paying my insurance, gas, new paint, bodywork, and ALL other expenses associated along with the medical and mental health tx associated with the sentimental value it has, then that's the day I'll start driving it on a daily basis. Until then, it's too valuable to ME to use as a dd, or anything remotely similar.

I'm w/Brad on this one.

I drive my 74 everyday & was driving my 68 everyday until it was totaled when an older lady driving a spankin' new Caddy drove all the way down the pass side ruining everything.

The biggest struggle was getting the insurance to pay the amount necessary to cover the repair (parts replacement) costs. When I'm done, I'll drive my 68 again & use it as a truck.

My other RestoRod will see limited use just because I've owned it for 20+ years & it was stolen once already. Well that & the fact that it's been taking so long to put it back together this time..... I don't want to have to do it again (I don't think I'll be alive that long

).

For a C20 to tow 60,000lbs is quite a stretch. AFAIK, the 30 ton designation is what the dozer can move, not what it weighs.

That said, dozers ain't light. I'd bet that thing weighs around 6-7 tons.

Mine is set up to carry 1500, it's a half ton with 3/4 ton springs...
