      hope you replaced the resistor wire

            BTW neat replacement. Is that a squirrel.

            Goliath ain't dead, just the opposite in fact. I have been driving the hell out of the thing all summer! I just saw this truck and fell in lust, add to the fact that it was going to hit the crusher if no one "saved" it and I felt like it was my sworn duty to scoop it up. I wasn't out looking for one of these, my buddy Paul pulled the "look what I found you!" thing and it was all over. Well, it was all over when the guy cut the price 1,000 bucks.

            I can't have two of these beasts at my house, so one has to go. I will be swapping the wheels and tires from Goliath onto the wrecker and then selling the G-man.

            I'll make ya a great deal!

              congratufackinlations! That thing is ubercoolerific!

              sweet mother of mischeif - you have got to keep the keys away from the boys until they're about 30.... I can only imagine the look on a young ladies face when the Lohne's boy comes to pick her up for Prom in THAT!

              For sure swap the wheels and tires off goliath before the big guy finds a new home - hopefully some one from here - or someone who will soon join will buy that beast and keep her in good shape for a long time to come.

              Epic journey's await!

              (will this one get a two speed rear or overdrive?)
              There's always something new to learn.

                Spidey, what does the Keystone painted on the wrecker body mean?
                It means you're smooth, like Keith Stone.


                PA is the keystone state. Maybe the previous owner did towing in PA as well or was originally from PA?


                Cool find and a great looking truck.

                      Just because.....

                      Oh, and all of a sudden this has become a Lohnes family outing to bring the truck back. We're going to come out with the kids on a Friday and lumber home on Saturday.
