That's how to remove the motor and tranny assembly when you dont have a picker.

Yeah, hard core, but that's just the kind of scenario that would make them separate...

I'm not sure, but I think the balance of the truck might be off.

Haven't seen a COE with a short wheel base like that before, neat.

I've seen that truck. It's in a small town West of Minneapolis, don't know the story about it, but it definitely catches your eye. We had to stop so my son could take a picture. I think he still has it as his phone background.

It looks like it is for show. The truck is propped up. There are no headlights or mirrors. The chain looks rusted. And I bet the motor and tranny are out of it to make the front end lighter...

It is neat however!

I agree to that, that wheel base just looks awesome on that truck.

Thanks Mine is still in the "I need money for all my parts" spot. I am really hoping though to be able to get some things swapped real soon. My Damascus knives are selling like hot cakes at the moment. Might get to the interior pretty soon, I've had to wait to be sure what swapping to a Cummins was going to change.
