Help in Modesto
I bought a cab for my 59 in Modesto - can I get some help picking it up? I will need a few men to lift it onto the trailer. The seller does not have a good way to lift it.
I bid on this cab on ebay (number: 4644679247) and did not win it. Sort of irritated me as I was high bidder at around $50, but someone sniped me in the last 30 seconds - raising beyond my max bid of $167.
Turns out this bidder is from Colorado, and had no way to pick up the cab. He did not buy it so the seller offered it to me as a second chance offer at my last bid - $167. If the idiot from Colo had not bid I would have had it for $50 - he cost me $117 - and screwed up the seller.
However, if it is as good as the seller states, it is still cheaper than buying the rust repair panels for mine. I intend to use the front half from this cab and the rear of another - stretching the cab 6" through the doors.
Anyway, I thought I could show up in Modesto late one afternoon and get a few men to stop by the seller's house on their way home from work. Would this work for anyone?

Thanks, guys. The seller has decided to leave it a rolling chassis - so I will try my luck at using a tow bar to get it home. I am going to try this Sat morn.
JD, Mike - I have your phone numbers but do not think I will have any problems.

btw, this gives me an extra steering box, frame, and a ford 9" rear, not that I needed the extra junk in my yard!

If you posted your phone number I missed it - sorry. anyway, it is a done deal and the chassis is in my front yard now.
I did make another score, but will post it in a different thread.
