    Some more shots of Brutus

    Getting amped up for the trip next week. I have a slew of photos from Rick, the dude I bought it from. I am going to run an introduction item on Monday about the truck, but here is another sneak peek!

    I talked to Weld-Built, the company that made the wrecker apparatus on the truck back in 1968. They said they will send me all the data and manuals on it. The cool thing is that the wrecker body was a custom build with twin 15,000 winches. Normally they would have been 10,000lb jobs or a single 15, so this truck was spec'd out to have the strength to move some heavy junk!

    The interior is insanely clean and the wrecker stuff is all in great shape as well. More to come on Monday!

          Oh, I have like 20 "can I lift it/drag it/tow it" ideas already. A big ass stump is getting all 15 tons of pulling power when I get the truck to start.

              Sounds like you could lift Rhode Island with Brutus!
              I'm probably wrong

                      Not very much.

                      I can't wait to see it with the big rubber and white wheels on all four corners.

                        Dude - second job pulling out stranded motorists - might pay well enough to restore the jav to make noise again sooner instead of later - in all your free time that is.

                        two 15ks.... OOOGA BOOGA!

                        Just don't yank on that stump so hard that it breaks loose and rockets toward brutus smashing up that straight body of his!

                            If you are going to call it Brutus I should send you a Buckeyes sticker for it then.

                              So long as one of the football players doesn't steal it (sorry, I had to) I'll gladly stick 'em on the back window!
