It might be a bit much for a Sammi, or a Cherokee, or a 4Runner, or a ...

yea, I would take that truck just to lift and move things around my place!
Mike was there any good parts left on that 57-60 Ford truck besides the winch? Or did you get any other pics of it?
Naw, Mike. That bad boy would fit on my Zuk. No Problem. I'll just run the tag axle up front.....
I need to do a Boneyard run....
I'll get more pics up after work tonight. Time to clear some snow...

Sean, I didn't know you were looking or any more '57 to '60 parts. I don't know if this has any good parts, but it sure has a bunch of levers!
I usually give Jonathan (Popsgarage) a call when I go yard hopping. If I wait until I get there, I won't forget what he's looking for.
He might be ready for a junkyard run himself.

Let me know when you are going again Mike, Its been awhile since I went. I assume you are meaning hydraulic levers? I need to get some of those as well as hoses.
Hey Mike, keep an eye out for an F350 (99 1/2 & up) metric front axle too. You can go ahead & pull it for me & I'll come pick it up. lol
Now that I can see the pics its a '58 and damn that grille is in nice shape! I need to see if I can find better glass than what I have.

That should be a PTO winch. There's a PTO lever in the cab, a brake lever & a F-N-R lever on the side, or might be clutch lever by the brake?
So much for getting out early! I'm loading the truck now, starting in Aurora. Post if you want to meet up.

There were a few other things that caught my eye.
Home built (?) bumper on a 'Sploder, made from 3/16" steel sheet.
I also saw some aftermarket springs on an XJ.

Looks like good fun. I miss yard crawling. I used to go every Sunday until we moved here. Unfortunately now all of my tools are still in Idaho and I have no workspace here in CO.
