Nothing works better to haul in engine in the back of your pickup! That tire actually saved our butts. When we first unloaded the engine out of the back of the truck, we were positioning the cherry picker in front of the '65 to push the truck under the engine. The truck rolls alot easier in the dirt than the cherry picker. Anyhow, while jacking it up the chain snapped  . Luckily, the tire was still on the ground right under. The motor fell from about 3 feet. Scared the crap out of us!! No damage was done. Thank God for them part time engine stands!
