Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
Sounds like a good trip and 12 mpg is pretty decent for a rig that size. How is it for power?

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
Man AWESOME C50! I'm currently building a wedge bed truck and my Hodge Wedge bed has the 4 ratchet chain hold down things that are welded to the bed diamond deck. Can you post some pics of your FLUSH mounted ones ( mine are a tripping hazard) . I sure would like to cut holes in my deck floor and flush mount mine.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
Nice score! Do you have the LQ4 and the 4L80e on that Handy motorcycle lift? How sturdy does it sit up there? I have one myself but thought it might get a little wobbly when lifting it up. I guess with the right supports under the oil pan and trans it could work out well like you have it.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
I can image that's quite a feeling running that truck along down the hiway hauling your coupe on the deck. Not just knowing how cool it will look to all who see (that like that sort of thing), but your experience sitting in that seat holding that wheel hearing that engine, looking over that hood.
