They do walk amongst us. Same kind of guy who will bust a 100 dollar part in a wrecking yard to get to a part that might sell for 2.00 .

The way my luck runs if I had tried to run it that way the U joint cup would have slipped sideways and I'd have the driveshaft shaking and baking as I went down the road.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
