Re: 49 3600, s10 swap, project boogie

so I bought a longbed frame from a friend, but he lived two towns away. I called for a tow, but $150 to tow a $250 frame offended my sensibilities. I was thinking about a way just to flat tow it since it was a roller. There were tow bars on craplist, $100... but cardboard freight had one on sale for 70, and with a 25% off coupon it was 56 out the door. its made with some brackets that bolt to a flat bumper or to special brackets you install on the car, I didnt have either. so I drilled a 1/2" hole in the core support mounts and viola!



I safety strapped it and used a third to bind up the steering. once I had the wheels pointed straight it was golden time. the 53 mile trip on surface streets was uneventful.




called up family and friends and moved it over



time for chopping! I already cut off the rear frame for the bumper.
