    Hulcher and RJ Corman move thiers on 2 trucks.The one that they carry thee boom on is set up with racks to hold everything in place. This wouldn't be practical for most,but it is interesting to watch them roll on site. It seems like it only takes them a few minutes and they are ready to go to work.

    Stuck cab bolts NEEEEED HELP!

    IF you can get to it,weld a nut on it. As soon as it goes from red to that nice gray color, take a air chisel and beat the daylights out of it for about a minute. That should release it and allow it to come out. good luck
