I get that those are 100 (more or less) year old trucks, and not even complete ones. But how can you look at something that has survived this long, and only see $$. Nothing wrong with that, but they should go to someone that will help them survive longer. Glad you got them.

ok I like your cab carrier. How did you get it from there and back on to the frame?

If you look above the cab in the first pic in the post you can see the trolley beam. If you follow the beam to the wall you can see the two chain falls hanging from two trolleys. I use it all the time. Pulling engines, truck cabs, car bodies, putting them on the rotisserie, taking them off the rotisserie. After I had it I didn't know how I ever got along with out it.

Great. Blended in with the ceiling. How much weight will it support?

Not sure. I guess the heaviest thing I ever hoisted was a 1961 Impala body.

I don't think I've had over a 1000 lbs on the beam.

I love the '72-'73 grille. Scored a two dent unit at Carlisle for $250! Now I have two spares for wall art.
The truck turned out very nice, congratulations.

love to score one of those. But not for art.
