My youngest's friend came over and parked his S-10 on the grassy turn-around by Mom's house. Instead of just pulling forward and looping it around to leave, he backs up like he was in a parking space. This manuever promptly got the back end of the truck heading down the grade into the side yard. When I heard him loose traction, I hollered at him to sit still while I got the tow strap and the Rhino. By the time I got there, he was completely down the hill and in Mom & Dad's yard. As I was hooking up the strap to his truck, he's trying to tell me I needed something bigger than the Rhino to get him out. I locked everything into 4WD and low gear and gave him enough of a boost to get up and out. He got out utterly amazed that it worked.

Now I'm waiting for his dad (good friend of mine) to call or text for a confirmation.

RC, did I miss where you said what switches and such you need? I'll try to get them together tomorrow.

good morning missouri... nice an cool outside ..so far....
jeff i guess i dont really need to have anything yet.. i will just work on getting power to only what it needs to start the engine for now.. it would be convenient to have it mobile.
then i can play with the ignition, neutral safety, wipers, lights and other accessories again after it is running.....

i guess i need to drag my lazy bones up to alans and see HR more complete than last time i saw it..

i did a few hours of suffocating work out in the heat.. getting some parts gathered up for the 41 chebby i want to take to petti jean.. i am afraid i may have to put a clutch in the flat bump soon.... was hoping to wait till i get back from arkansas.. and do the rear seal at the same time..
a few pics of the days activities...

decided it is time to move the old streetrod project




humm might of let it sit too long ha ha ha




this dang spider has changed my four bbl to a single bbl carb..




. i put a hot battery in the truck.. she fired right up.. poor ole spider got sucked up and blew out of the exhaust




slam the hood and drive into the shop




then went over and picked up the 48 chevy.. i am going to use the bed for the 41 on the flat bump's bed

Your more than welcome to it. I only replaced my one in Ol Big Red because i had it out.

I found it when I was moving.

If you head up this way, bring my long driveshaft in the back of Bullet. That should work on my Dana 60 on my Grandpa's truck. And if you want to bring up the 71 cab!! But looks like there is no room lol
