Picking this up tomorrow

If all goes well, this'll be on my trailer by 9am tomorrow morning. No drivetrain or frame but has a valid title and plates.

Looks pretty clean! How will you get it on the trailer, moving dollies?

Plan is to lift it with a forklift and straps at the loading place and same at my friend's body shop where the drop off will occur. I bought two HF dollies to put under the body so it can be moved short distances.

Ilya,

I wish you'd stop posting this junk! You forgot to post pictures of the two stock front seats and the pretty girls in cut off shorts that are going to help load this scrap pile onto your trailer.

Just stop, you're making me sick, well very jealous at least. I'd be happy to just find something useable near by.

You have been a busy boy, and its definitely paying off for you, congratulations. Do you have any plans for it yet, flip, build, parts?

First thing I asked about was what kind of seats were inside.. it's a stock bench seat. Unfortunately, my wife and her girlfriends are coming to help load. You and Chris should hook up the 5th wheel to his brand new truck and drive over to my house. I'll make a deal on some projects!!

I'm not sure yet. If the rear doors are better than what I have, then they'll go onto my 51 and the doors from the 51 will go into this one. I'm not sure yet what I'll do with it. I'll probably try to flip it after some cleaning and adding any missing parts (besides the frame/suspension/engine). If it doesn't sell by the time I need to get it out of my friend's shop, then I'll probably cut the body up into sections and store it somewhere else for later sale of parts.

This Panel was sitting on a Chevy 4x4 frame. The guy said that he didn't cut anything up to fit it. He now needs the frame for another project so this Panel has to go. He needs to get rid of it quick because it's taking up space at his employer's parking lot. Depending on what modifications the body has, if any, will determine my next step with the disposition.

Don't temp Chris, he'll have the new F-450 fueled up and ready to go. He'd just have to tell his wife he's going on a week long business trip. After having to buy the new truck she kind of hinted to us that truck recovery missions have been suspended for a while. But I don't think that's going to slow Chris down any.

You guys are a bunch of enablers. You don't care about our marital bless, you just like to see addicts struggle for their fixes. Sick, very sick.

What, you guys are married? Oh. I was just trying to help....

Ask Ilya about all the panels out here,
He knows....
But, most of em are the better looking 51 52 dairy delivery types though.

I wish I could find a roller frame cheap. Maybe Bob and Chris can haul it from your place on way to mine.

Josh and I emailed each other about a few Panels he found in his area. They're still pretty decent projects.

I'm not tempting. I'm just dangling a carrot in front of that new "Black Stallion" truck. The weather is nice out here. Plus, I'm about 30 minutes from the Pacific Ocean. You and Chris can have a romantic walk on the beach at sunset dreaming about all the trucks and parts you can haul on your way back home.
