Better ship that thing to south central Tennessee, just so you won't be tempted to waste a lot of time and money fixing it up! I'll volunteer my farm as a safe storage space!
Congratulations on a good buy!

Nice find, looks like some work to be done there!
1956 GMC 370 dump " 'Tater "1970 VW Volksrod "the Black Bomber" 2007 Chevy Avalanche 2020 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk, 2005 Harley Davidson FLHTCUI I dig all cars, old and new, whether they were hammered out of American iron, German steel, or Japanese tin cans. Being unable to appreciate them all is missing out on a world of great things.
But thats just MY opinion! :P

Good thing you bought it and saved Bobb from having to build a bigger shop. How was trailering it? Did it just fit?

Good thing you bought it and saved Bobb from having to build a bigger shop. How was trailering it? Did it just fit? It trailered just fine...could have been 6" more forward... 1/2 of each outside dual tire hung off the edge... see my pics to see her on the trailer... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 1,276 | Hey great to see you got her home hope you have big plans. I like the job you did on your 58 GMC that one turned out pretty I think this new one has found a good home. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 254 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 254 | 1/2 of each outside dual hanging off the side of the trailer isn't bad you shoulda seen how well my 61 Chevy C60 fit on a buddys homeade trailer that i borrowed, the outside duals weren't really on at all.... and 1/4 to 1/2 of both front tires were off the edge.... had to make ramps out of wood so it would go over the fenders on the trailer (still wish i took pics of it on trailer, it was a sweet site to see, my 64 Chevy pulling this big 61 chevy)
