Wow thats a little scary  |
if they hook it in the center rear they use 2 front chains
if they have to hook it off to one side they use one chain on the opposite front.
especially if they have a solid hook on front (not on the suspension)
and have it hooked by the axletube in the rear.
The vehicle will need to move around on its suspension a little to keep from bending something.

Yeah, when I was selling it they inquired about buying it. I said no thanks.

Oh really?
That pic is about 6 years old:
And that's like 15 years old (different bus of course):
And then there's plenty of lifted bays I know but won't post, so yeah, unknown territory...
Loved that 15 window btw, sad story..

One hard right turn and that baby could have fallen off. Really scary! It was even tied on the side that was closest to the edge. Someone wasn't thinking that day. |

Well as far as I know someone paid $5700 for it so it must be somewhere by now. There were no storage fees while it was in my garage....

| these auctions are only open to wrecking yards so it's not like anyone can bid on them, I gotta feeling that whoever bought it had never seen it here on the samba, the highest bid on the Coram Rug Works was $1050, at which point I bought it back. |
