Hey Matt
Small Potatoes. . . Try haulin this mess for 1300 miles without loosing a screw. I wasn't too close to being maxed out ona 10,000 pound trailer. What you see is a 59 Chrysler and what you did, only a 72 Monaco loaded. The car was stuffed with Monaco parts too.
By the way, what is that "Thing" you loaded all those parts on?

Ahhhh Senior Moment. I dunno what I was thinking Sorry. . .
I know what you mean. The only thing I left behind was the shell and engine and trans, which I sold while I was there. But I had room for it! LOL
Now that I think about it, that's the best that truck ever rode. . . It is also the first time I ever felt that rig baulk at the load. I had to be close to 18,000 total. . . Pulling the A100 home was a bumpy ride

Another pic..
It does not matter if the car was up on blocks for 23 years--with the weight of the car off the springs.The springs were still broke.The right one shown actually snapped when I was jacking up the car.It has to be done,and I'm not surprised.Too bad,though.I thought she sat at a pretty good height--actually up more than the New Yorker!!
