Popeye

Glad that no one got hurt! Sorry about the damage ...

I've had a few towing adventures too. I was luckier though. We tend to quickly develop respect after receiving an education.

My first adventure was towing a heavy ag implement with a 1/2 ton pickup. Pulled off the road onto dirt to let traffic pass and hit the brakes. Instant jacknife! No damage to anything though.

Had a tire,wheel and axleshaft unscrew itself from an axletube once. Lucky again, I got stopped before it came completely out. Now I usually use trailers for cars and pickups. For anything that my vehicles can't handle, I usually hire a heavier tow vehicle.

Glad you weren't hurt!

The 57 has a V-8. I still have to pick up the other car (the parts car). That one will be trailered. I am very grateful I didn't wind up seriously injured or worse. It could have turned out much worse I feel pretty down about the truck. I've had it a long time and always had a dream of one day fixing it up. The frame is just too bent to save and the cab is pretty messed up. It still moves but sorta crabs around.

It was 94.

Yeah I was a little sore today. I still went and worked. I drive milk truck picking up can milk. Below is a picture of one of the can trucks so you can get an idea what it is like. The one I drive is similar.



I have to lift the milk cans into the truck. They weigh 100 pounds a piece. It wasn't real easy today but I managed. Luckily I have tomorrow off, I am sorta sore at the moment.

The hood has a good sized dent but other than that it is okay. I got a parts car I have to pick up yet so it'll be all fixed.

Yeah I think next time I'll be towing with a 3/4 ton or bigger truck and no more tow bars. The only thing that is going to be towed on all fours is a car trailer. This was my first time towing with a tow bar. I had sold of the old diesel pickup I had (which towed like a champ). Was figuring on buying a dually at some point but now everything is up in the air. I have no idea how much I am going to be liable for. There is a lot of my stuff up for sale on Craigslist right now. My brother hit someone with his car and he lost his licence (no insurance).

Phil my boy, you are one lucky son-of-a-gun , the big guy upstairs has better plans for you I think. I think you should put that 57 up for auction on here. Everyone is drooling over it,(Me included) I have a 56 chevy 6500 1 1/2 ton truck I bought when I was seventeen, I really like that truck. Take care young man, and drive safe. >Thanks Marc P.S. you must pick up milk in Amish country, only ones I know still use cans.

Hit like that, you are a lucky son-of-a-gun. Glad you are ok.

Like you, I like dragging automotive treasures home. A trailer with a winch is the perfect tool for doing that.
