You are quite the Imagineer - The only part I question is the Trailer Queen part - After all the years, work and rework on your Truck I would think you would drive the wheels off of it.

 

it WILL be a driver Dick... but in deference to my wife... if we drive 200-300 miles to a car show... and park the award winning truck... she doesn't want to sit in a hot lot or show site all day with no transportation... i.e. no shopping, no eating, no gambling, etc... So we will tow the truck to long distance sites and drive it around there... saves taking two vehicles also... but mainly the pullie thingy is for dragging other stuff up on the trailer...

I'd love to be an imagineer... at WDW in Orlando.. what a cool place to work

Just pulling your chain John - What would your life be without me?
Anyone who doesn't think outside the box will end up in a cereal bowl

 

Hoo Boy, that aught to make it real easy to drag other projects home.....

 

It started the week I brought it home, Bobby ... neighbor wants me to drive to south Alabama and load up an old 8N tractor and bring it home for him.. might make that trip, sounds like fun

Pullie thingy?? You mean a wench? lol. Just kidding, im amazed by how many people call them that.

Once youve got a pullie thingy theres no going back.

Like the box setup.

 

Looks like the perfect rig. I'm jealous !

 

One very nice installation and write up. Love that box install. I am still using an old 4000lb single pull, 8000lb with block, boat winch set up portable. I've used it much, abused it a time or two. Pulled several 8Ns aboard with it.

 

That is a very nice pully thingy John ! Attention to detail, as always.

Is this the year the truck ventures out on the roadways ?

Tom

 

could be Tom... could be... engine finished... body work close, still have transmission to get rebuilt, wiring, interior, paint, and it's the middle of May..hmmmmm...maybe not Tom, maybe not

but really... all I like is finishing

Just be careful with that pullie thingie. I have it on good authority that too much interaction with one's pullie thingy will cause blindness

Bobby

 

from personal experience I'm sure...

 

BEAT me to it Bobby

 

What? who me?
I'll have you know that there is not a hair one on my palms
(well, as far as I can see, everything seems kind of blurry lately)
