rear wheels are spares I have, didn't want to travel with tires that haven't gone anywhere in 20 years!

I seem to remember seeing one posted up on eBay up in Great Falls. Is that the one?

I was thinking about having my buddy in Kalispell running up there for me.

if the one in Great Falls is the one that had the winch, I bought the winch and some other parts off it and he was going to scrap the rest.

this one came from Columbia Falls. the guy I got it from had it since 99, received it as partial payment for some work he did. never did anything with it. it's been for sale since early spring, couldn't sell it for what he wanted. he called me and asked if I was still interested as he didn't want to sit on it thru the winter. pretty happy with it overall. so now my other pig is for sale.
 
glad to see its going to a good home, I had half dozen folks tell me about it, parked alongside the hiway. what are you going to do engine wise with it?
