I got the dozing done wed afternoon and thought , now i need a truck with a hoist to haul rock . you see we bought a mi. of old rail road for the rock it is only 1/2 mi. from our place
yesterday i seen an add for a two ton truck with a hoist in the local paper. so i called and an older lady told me of the truck.I told her i would think it over and get back with her
after hanging up i wondered what i was waiting for because she said the first one that said they wanted it got it so I just called her back and took it sight un seen
dad and i are going to get it this morning and i will report back
she sounded so grandma like , and for some reason i trust her compleatly by just talking to her

Aww Bob, sometimes listening to that inner voice is exactly what you need to do.  What's life without taking a few risks? Good Luck with the new truck, and with a little good fortune, maybe she'll have a batch of cookies baking when you get there. ;D |

Man that looks like a great truck ! What year is it ? I could haul some wood in that. Even some hay. You did good I would say. What you going to do with the rock you are going to haul ?  |

I had a dozer build a 1/2 mi road back into my ground that is better than the one I had, so it would be so steep in spots. now I can put rock that we have off of a piece of old abandon railroad that we have

WOW!! What, 64/65? With points and condenser so you can actually tune it up yourself. Geez, I miss those! Looks like decent rubber on it too. Score!!

its a 63
yes it is pretty simple, it shouldnt be too hard to get my moneys worth out of it hauling rock and anything else for that matter
I think I will take the sides off and put 2 x 12s on the sides just up a foot all around to hold the rock on
