buckeyepuller, I've learned from collecting these 'ol COE trucks through the years (about 20),that it's more economical to try & find yourself at least one parts donor COE. That way you save alot of time,& money chasing parts. I see them on ebay almost weekly. Chances are you may find a donor truck in better, condition.

There are no cracks in "Diesel Dan", only divots. And, if you can get it on his slide back bed, he can haul it! \:D \:D \:D

Well Macky Wacky......that's exactly the kind of winch that is on "Diesel Dan"....a Tulsa winch with 9/16" cable and a 20,000 pound line pull!

No.......that's for a car that is 16 feet long. For a 16" car, the line pull only has to be 3.5 pounds and that is with a string! \:D \:D \:D
