Rockwells running away...

This in now way shape or form pertains to any offroad question...

I was driving home yesterday and as i turned onto the road a 2000 F350 passed me towin a trailer w/ a complete frame, leaves, and rockwells. At first i assumed he was building some badass project...but the more i think about it...The chassis was all olive drab, with a sweet coating of rust, so its very likely the original military chassis the rocks came on, so i dont think it was a project. and he had a bunch of other chit that looked like junk...

I sincerely hope he wasnt just taking a trailer full of "scrap metal" that he cleared out of the barn or whatever to the crusher.....

That would suck, was he heading in the general direction of a scrapyard? If so i would call them and see if he did, maybe you could buy the parts off of them.

why no forward gears? Seems odd that you have reverse but no forward gears...
