I found the hard way with this haul...The front wheels where locked so I thought to haul this car this way....It doesn't work...the tongue weight is to light...Had to pull the car off,and place it motor first..

Nice car collection Dave!

You might have to change your screen name from Diesel Dave 2 to Jay Leno 2!!


Btw, we still haven't blacked out your cab mounted brake light.
I'm around for the next several w/ends, feel free to PM me & we'll GTG to get it done. I don't live that far from you in the S.E.

...Joe

Ever since I did the hauling of these vehicles over 2300 miles...My truck seems to run way better now than it every did.I'm way quicker off the line,and maybe running this truck empty and with no load caused a bad carbon buildup.I have to work this truck harder...
