    Your tires and wheels? Does he have lug nuts, take a wire brush and some penetrating oil too
     
  2. Funny but that wasn't on my list! I'm not dragging my trailer out there, I rented a uhaul trailer, picking it up when I get there. So no winch, but I'll figure that part out. I've got off topic weld wheels and I had to order lug nuts to fit them, $70 freaking dollars!! I think I've got everything loaded. Only concern I really have is if the 275/60-15 tires will fit on the back. 8" wheels with what looks like 4.5" backspace. I read on another forum that a guy is running those on his 60 wagon no problem, so I'm being positive. Just gotta Jack it up on the frame to get them on. I'll post pictures.

    Go to Walmart and get one of those portable winches, about $85 IIRC. It has a plate to slip over a hitch ball, you can get by running a chain through it and around the trailer toung. I have a snatch block I use with mine, makes it slower, but pulls twice as much. I’ve loaded several cars with mine, even drug a 5’ bush hog up the ramps and onto the trailer. Just make sure you leave your truck running as it will drain a battery pretty quick.

    I have the best luck pulling them backwards when trying to break them loose.
     
  11. I just looked it up. A reese portable winch, like $75. They have them in stock so I'll stop and buy one. Gotta be easier than trying to push it on the trailer ;) thanks for the tip

  12. Hopefully I can pull the rotor, shoes stuck and all, with some fire and my big ass slide hammer!

    It can be done, good luck. Hell, if I wasn't 2 1/2 hours away I'd bring my winch and help you load it.

  14. I'm in Owasso, what a drive! Went to Bufords house and unloaded my truck, sitting at Logan's roadhouse waiting on a steak. Gotta get up in the morning and get to loading! I'll post some pictures then.

    And you need a duck paddle boat.

    Is that bird shit on the fender? Good thing you weren't under that one. What the hell kind of birds you got out there?

    Congrats! Tight fit on that trailer. No hard turns..
     
  25. Looks like quite the load between the car and the cab. Glad you made it home ok.
     
  26. I know, I know. You can delete the picture lol. They're the only rollers I had to use. And to my surprise Mark, the car was an automatic. So there's no Z bar :(. I'm sorry.
