She's gone!
It seems like it was only yesterday when I brough her home.
I had to let her go to make room for my newly purchased 52 F6 flatbed.
She was loaded up today and headed to her new home in the state of New York. Don't know if she'll like the New York cold winters. I know that she loved to sunbathe in the hot California sun as she spent most of her time outside.
My last few hours with her were fun, though. The truck doesn't run and the transport driver din't have a winch to winch it up the three car trailer first and then onto the flatbed.
Luckily, I had a winch that I'm putting on my trailer this weekend. A quick trip to the hardware store for longer bolts and voila, the winch was attached to the front of flatbed and she was up and over the trailer in no time.
Farewell to thee!

Sold the 52 F1 and this 48 F2. I still have my baby, the 52 Panel. And now she's getting a big brother, 52 F6.

Why does it appear that the frame on the hauler sticks out another 5 ft past the flatbed?? Is it one of those slide/tilt beds? I'm curious, how much will it cost to ship coast-to-coast? Someone must have really wanted it! It looks really solid!

It's costing the guy about $1k to go coast-to-coast. And, yes, it is a solid truck.
I'm just glad that it's gone!

Just the cost of diesel fuel would cost at least 900 dollars per 3000 miles. At 10 MPG!! And the diesel carrier truck wouldnt get 10 MPG loaded probably.
