Here's mine towing my boat and the old wheels on my truck. Probably won't have the boat forever...just don't have the time and would rather have a Corvair

61_FL_Apache · 02-01-2012, 10:04 AM

Something a little too heavy or a rotten frame.

1963c-10 · 02-02-2012, 02:47 PM

Yeah...either one of those would do it. I dont know any of the history of the pic.

BR3W CITY · 02-04-2012, 02:13 PM

OK someone needs to find me a 4x4 panel or burb to do another LS swap (maybe a diesel instead?)...I need a new daily driver, my baby could use a tow pig, and I have the time on my hands to do it.
