Jesus, that's steep for one that beat.


Makes me feel better about mine that I bought 20 years ago and dragged around the country every time I moved. I'm totally gonna fix it up one day.
 
I dig it. I don't 44k dig it though. There are several videos at the link.


It’s safe to say you won’t park next to a similar vehicle when you’re driving this full-custom 1969 Volkswagen Beetle Street Rod “Bug Truck,” as the seller calls it. The seller/builder had both a VW shell and a ’49 Chevrolet cab for many years before got the idea to combine the bodies with a Chevy LS V8 and a custom chassis to make a one-of-a-kind street rod.

The street rod Bug Truck has been featured at many car shows and was a finalist for the Hot Wheels Legends Tour. The seller is a longtime technician who performs all his own work.


This VW street rod is not rear-engine, not air-cooled, and not a four-cylinder. Instead, it’s got a water-cooled, front-mounted Chevrolet V8, in the form of a 5.3-liter LS engine that was built 3,100 miles ago according to the seller. The engine is fed fuel through a Holley EFI system, has an upgraded camshaft and starts easily when cold, without any smoke or leaks. The GM Turbo Hydra-Matic 350 three-speed automatic transmission has a manual valve body and shifts well via a B&M pistol-grip shifter. The rear end is from a Toyota pickup. A large radiator with an electric fan was mounted in the pickup bed, and a custom gas tank takes up the remaining bed space.

The one-of-a-kind body required a great deal of fabrication and bodywork. The seller/builder combined a 1969 Volkswagen Beetle with a 1949 Chevrolet pickup cab. The roof was chopped and a custom pickup bed was fabricated, using the original bedside uppers from a 49 Chevy. The heavily louvered VW hood was front hinged for engine access. The bed rails have been punched with beveled holes, and the taillights were integrated into the rail ends. The rear braces for the full roll cage go through the back of the cab. The truck was painted a couple years ago, after the build was completed, and there are no issues with the paint according to the seller. The glass is in perfect condition and the front and rear windows were custom cut per the seller. All the seals are new, so there are no leaks. The truck is said to be “rust-free.”

indeed heavier=betterer

industrial surplus store went to auction and he had about ten tables like that, some of them up to 6" thick and 10x10
all went to scrap because nobody was willing to haul them
 
He said he had a bunch of other shit he was gonna let go. I'm just excited to have a table that isn't a bent to shit hunk of 3/16
 
God damn of all the shit I never thought of. Sticking a driveshaft on a winch/hoist motor to power anything is pretty fucking brilliant. Geared low and slow, forward and reverse built right in, thats freaking awesome. Drive it out of the garage load youre heavy shit and drive it right back in to work on it or outside to do the welding. I want one for a work table and another as a car rotisserie


I did copy a ytube video of a 12v HF winch to chain drive to build a trike boat trailer dolly. Moves a 7500 ish lb boat and trailer around really well. Its slow but effective.

I'll pay you $20 + shipping for it. :flipoff2:

Nah.

Shit like that inevitably ends up being useful, it just might take 20 years for that to happen.

At least that's my logic when I'm dragging stuff outta the scrap bin at work. Or the scrap bin at my buddy's work. Or random jobsites... /https://data.irate4x4.com/assets/smilies/laughing.gif

If you don't have a critical mass of junk around you end up putting off projects, paying for stuff or using substandard stuff. Not having to do that is worth fare more than the time and effort of managing junk. Hence why everybody has junk collections.
