First Tow Job

First I get a call from my stepson, he fried his battery connections on his '79 F-250/351M. I go and see what I can do to get him back to his place. I find his truck fully loaded with store-stock from the local outlet to go to a small store. Snowin like crazy. I transfer customer's stock to mine and make the delivery, go back and get the 250 running. I tell him "Go straight home, and when the weather breaks, we will get new cables". (This was around 2:30pm).
9:45pm, he calls. He's stuck at another store. This time, it's really shot, so I tow him 3 miles to his place with 'Lil Raven. (She handled it Great!) My stepson isn't used to getting towed but with hand signals, it wasn't too bad. Uphills, downhills, turns and intersections through SW Baltimore, the Raven made me proud.

Here's a pic of when I first brought Raven home. The Ford behind me was the casualty.
