Re: Our Trucks Doing What They Did - Vintage Photo Thread

Beautiful story! Seeing you with the come-a-long just about knocked me off my chair! What exactly were you doing?
The reason I say knocked me off my chair is I did something similar chopping my roof only it was because of a screw up, I am thinking you had a plan there. Anyway, I had no come-a-long, I had a few friends to stand on a rope I had tied to the right A pillar and out the window of the barn I was chopping it in tied to a fence post. My buddies stood on the rope to pull the pillar over! LOL I had welded the other side, then found that I had pulled the top over that way, so it had to go further to the right! LOL Yes, the windshields were cut from different patterns! The right A pillar had more of a slant to it. You could see it if you stood out front of the truck.

I wish to God I had a photo of that!

That is so damn cool you got to do that with your dad.
