Very nice find, indeed!

Gray Ghost · 06-12-2006, 06:50 PM

Sure hate to see it lowered. I love the stance of our old trucks. I hated mine low, couldn't wait to get it off the ground. Course I am old school. I do like his wrench though, I need that for my collection!

Nope I sold mine to another buddy, these have taller and skinnier tires on them.

My dad said that the wrench belonged to my great grandfather. He wasn't sure if it was used on the sawmill or the railroad.

That's one nice old truck Asa. I know the old guy is kicking himself in the butt for pricing it so low for someone to take him up on it. I know your bud there is like a kid at christmas right now too. He's gotta drop it sommmmme. Bout like yours would be fine. Good looking engine too. 71See10. That works!

I personaly would leave well enough alone or at least do it so that it is reversable.....If I was building one the temtation to do a shackle/spindle lower would be there though

Wow very nice find......

stope4 · 06-13-2006, 07:55 PM

Very nice truck. I also liked the old wheels better. Also think lowering a tad would look a little better but that is just my preference.

71see10 · 06-13-2006, 09:50 PM

Well after doing a few thing wrong signing in, I finally made it! I would like to thank every one who has wrote about my truck! I'm very proud of it. Thanks to asa, knowing all he knows(inside and out) about these trucks I feel I have bought a great truck! I look forward in getting to talk (write) and getting to learn thing about your truck! Thanks again

Welcome to the forum 71see10. Glad to see you finally got logged on and can chat about your new truck. You found a really nice truck that we would all love to own.

The changes you have made so far have really made a huge difference. I can't wait to see it lowered some more...

Yes, welcome to the board. You'll love this place. Asa knows his stuff, so just listen to him.

Great-looking ride. Keep one which this nice as stock as possible, I think.

I believe the wrench is a railroad track rail-end-plate (ends of rails bolt together) wrench. I've seen others like it where I grew up in North Missouri (Wabash RR town).

They make great fly-swatters, too.
