Re: Project Old Colorado
Back with the truck! 10 hours drive there on Friday, 10 hours from set up till we pulled out late Saturday afternoon. 12 hours home on Sunday. Paid the dealership 200.00 to let me use the lot behind the dealership to tear it down and they lifted the engine and the cab out with a fork lift even though I took a cherry picker. Called a tow company, said it would cost 300. to use an extra long roll back. Then the driver said he didn't have an auto salvage to haul it to because it was after-hours and none of them would take it. The owenr of Birkenkotter motors said I could pay him and he would get rid of it. Couldn't get the $ out of my pocket fast enough! Figured this experience would cure my 15 y.o. son of wanting to work on old trucks, it didn't. Now to get the shortened frame painted and get it on there.
