I thought i was the only one crazy enough to do shit like this.
we carried a split case redux box trans 300 yards uphill to pull a may 55 singlecab out of the woods. the hillside was so steep, that we installed 4 tires, and then flattened them cause we couldnt figure a way to get the thing down the hill at a decent speed. with 6 guys holding onto it, we pushed and pulled it down a narrow trail till it was level, and used the porta tank to fill the tires again. onto the trailer and away it went.
:D

Photos or it didn't happen! :wink:

whoa ho hoooo.
went through my mega stash of ancient pics last nite. WOW.
ive got to get all of them onto disk from the negatives, but heres a few.
since you said what you said. this is at bonville's place.

bus that we used some parts from, look at the mess. i have you beat brian, for working in nasty ass conditions. LOL.

this is the 55 truck that we pulled out of there. logo'd and all. someone on here mentioned that they pulled the best stuff off, gates, tails, decklid, rear pressed. pisses me off, cause i would have kept it if that stuff wasnt gone. now i wish i had it period, crazy thing is, i know where it sits now. :)

here we are taking it down the hill, steep as hell. flat tires and all.
some of you may recognize some of the faces in this pic. LOL.

quick pic of me in 95. "the vintage kid" as i was nicknamed then. LOL

Ill have more pics for you guys soon. I have a ton, and 9 more rolls to develop. ill bring back some memories. :)

Good stuff Dave, I love the garbage shots. It makes it obvious how much heart you have, as rich, primadana's would have shook their head and said: "um, I'll pass". Eventually, i'll get some of my old black & whites scanned too. Very cool.

Got right on it bud.

nobody wants this bus, so I figured I'd make it how I wanted it.
