Finally getting a original fuel tank cleaned inside, bottom welded back in and sealed inside. Last project that I think I'll ever do to it. I'm going to say it's DONE! After this it will be just keeping it running and stopping!
WOW! It looks to be in really good shape, what year and make, I H ? And what a nice building in the back round, how big is it, I wish I knew how you pull this stuff off!
Lol I know right. I've had so many mechanical wreckers, I feel kinda funny operating this one. I did however drive one almost exactly like this one for several years at the School Bus Garage. We had a International that was almost this ones twin, except it was all yellow. This is a 1995 International 4700, with a Century model 716, 16 ton wrecker unit. It would be comparable to a mechanical Holmes 600. I found it in New York, from a older guy that had bought it at auction 7 years ago, and had just let it sit. It only has 72K miles on it. The interior still looks new. That building in the back ground is my Eagle Carport, that Big Jimmy rest in. It's 16ft wide, by 28 ft long, I think ? You know I already had those two shops out back, but neither had doors, or roofs on them high enough for a big truck.
