Be a van instead of a good vehicle.
It was a dirty old soup kitchen, I didn’t get a pic of it the other day.
I can say that a solid receiver hitch makes for a good Mexican swing press. And that fancy Milwaukee impact of Colby’s is 3 tits.
Yeah I got one of those on the service van. It'll twist a nut for sure
How’d you get that last shackle bolt out Dean?
Jesse is telling the truth. The van was made into a garabage trailer by the guy we bought the land from in Alberta.He lived in a old house down the road from where we built our new barn site. Dan bought the old house 12 years ago and that trailer was still sitting on the yard full of bagged household garbage. Dan moves the trailer out back with the garbage still in it and it sits there full for all those years. Real gross!
Long story short we emptyed the van and I took the rear end.
Took our generator out and cut it out with a cut off wheel.
At that point I probably would have pulled the rear axle and set fire to the rest of it.
The good thing about garbage is it's already gone bad. 
Shoulda just hooked on and drug it home. Looked like a mint trailer to me....
Lol! I’ll post some pics up one day....
The garbage was so old it was compost. Didn’t smell, just dusty. I had a mask!

Just pulled the cover off the Van 14 Bolt.
Just what I needed 373! The springs looks good too.

Some guy from Saskatchewan with a Bigblock round eye inspired me to get mine running for the first time in 2020.
When I parked it before winter started I neglected to pull the battery out of it. Took it out a month ago and brought it into my garage. It was frozen solid. I let it thaw out for a few days and charged it with my little battery tender. Didn’t think it would work worth a shit but it does!
Took the battery a booster pack a few Oz of gas loaded it onto my quad and took it out to the truck.
The battery fell off the front rack of the quad and landed in 2 feet of snow upside down. Dug that out and lifted the hood. The 454 was covered in snow, lots on top of the dizzy and air cleaner. Chucked the battery in the truck took the air cleaner lid of and dumped a bit of gas down the quad. Hooked up the booster pack for add kick.
Hit the key and she started instantly, ran for a few seconds and stalled. Colby dumped a bit more gas down the carb and we tried again. Fired up instantly again, a bit of feathering the throttle and she was running smooth on its own.
I used it to check the cows outside and Colby drove around in it for a few laps around the yard.
Fun to get the old girl out and about!
I have video of it running and one of me and Frank going for a ride but I can’t get videos to load?

I don’t post much on F/B anymore. Thought this memory was kind of cool to come up today though.

Are you going to go out and get it stuck, then not take any pictures for us? Lol.
