Brings back memories
Quote:
That photograph of the trailer being lifted up by a crane and your pride and joy hanging there brought back memories. I got my 1935 REO Speed Wagon freighted up on a semi-trailer from the paddock it had sat in out in all the elements for decades. It was off loaded at home by a mobile crane. To see a rusty old truck being lifted up and hanging from four points on a chain and it having to support its own weight certainly puts your heart in your mouth. I half expected to hear this steel cracking noise and seeing the truck self-destruct into little pieces all hanging off the chain. Luckily Ransom Eli Olds (REO) was known to over-engineer his trucks! It behaved itself very well and stood up to all the strain without a creak or a snap! Kind Regards Lionel

Hi Lionel,
I know exactly what you mean  I had that especially unwanted feeling when the trailer went upwards. It has an amount of structural corrosion and all I could see was it sagging and bending like a sling if soft steel reo or one of those lolly snakes the kids like  . But fortunately it didn't. Your REO truck would have had a great deal more weight behind it - the tension must have been awkward to say the least.Regards,
