Slideshow from Trip All fun aside I wanna thank Ed for calling me several months ago and making me an offer I couldn't refuse to become the next caretaker of Toto and continue her preservation and restoration.

Is that bed bent ? | | | | | Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,616 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Aug 2001 Posts: 3,616 | Ed, You could have not handed the keys over to a better care taker. Looking forward to seeing ToTo at the reunion.

Spanky have you seen any other rigs with this kinda bed? the Hydraulic winch built into the front is extra cool.

Mongo attach a chain fore and aft of the bed, put a jack over the bend and under the chain and jack up to straighten.....it may work...

I think we took and oath not to tell Alvin -- I was standing there, too, and it happened quick before any of us spotted the issue... but I don't remember an oath... my silence can be leased, though ... all it takes is beer.
