completly blown away at this CL experience.


Dude shows up on time.
has cute daughter with him.
shows up in a 1963 IH crew cab pickup thats un restored original.
we chat price, i have some few other things i throw in. payment made.

cool guy.


pulls a tow bar out with a piece of angle hinged to it.  lines it up on the front frame and starts to C clamp it on. at this point im like o boy here it begins! 

he then grabs a dewalt drill from the truck and drills holes and bolts the thing to the frame with 1/2" grade 8 hardware.  even brings his own oil can to lube the bit.  i am amazed. 

he is rolling out of the lot by 7:22, apologizes for not having more time to shoot the shit and check out my trucks as they have another 1hr20min drive back to go.


i am amazed.

Bearings ain’t care. It’ll get there. They might be hot but I’d figure worst would happen is blown tires.

Very cool! I’d have offered a weld bead if he was so well prepared to drill & bolt. Sounds legit.

ran down to binghamton and back tonight after work and got a used international windshield for 150$, 5 hours driving and 25gals of diesel.  Had no place to put it after helping Matt prep his buggy tonight so cut out the old one and installed it.  all looks good.  just needs a good cleaning and new stickers.  success!  i have done much worse before.
