Some pictures of getting Grandpa's 1934 Chevy 1 1/2 ton truck. I drove 5220 miles on this trip.
I could go as fast as 55-60 mph with out the trailer swerving behind me.
I really don't think the brakes were working on the trailer.
The last truck I hauled with our own bigger trailer from Michigan was a little easier.
The truck was a bit in the dirt, down to the front axle.
A little digging and jacking it up and out of the ground, then a few tugs with my 2 wheel drive truck.
It was out and loaded with in 4 hours. Maybe the last trip to Westhope, North Dakota for awhile.
Now I can quit saying I am going to get that truck from the farm.
I have started a collection this summer of trucks(3) and parts (truck body minus the frame)
I with have to remain living here for 10 more years so I can drive Grandpa's truck away.
The truck body I brought home was a guy's great grandfather, it was more of a challange than he hoped it would be.
See the picture of Grandpa's Truck rescue mission.

My wife was kind enough to let me go alone without the three kids. They worked on one of the old trucks sanding in the garage. Hope they keep helping, I need all I can get.
We have been adding another bay to the garage this holiday weekend.
