Moving the old truck

A while back, we became "owners" of my wife's grandpa's old farm truck.  Actually since the title is somewhat in limbo, we aren't the owners.  We are just the people who have to store it.

It's a pretty cool old truck, and someday I'd like to get it running and restore the finish.  But with the title in limbo, I'm not putting a dime into it, or a moment of my time.

When it arrived, we simply rolled it off the trailer into the garage and parked it.  However our daughter recently began driving and we needed the room for a car.  The old truck had to go to the shop.

Unfortunately it has no brakes, and it's a pretty healthy slope to the shop.  We tried using the lawn mower to maneuver the old truck, but it just pulled the mower wherever it was rolling to.  We had to tether the old truck to my pickup truck,  and keep tension on the tow straps as it tried to roll into the shop.

Now it's out in the shop, ready for restoration - whenever we get the title situation fixed!

Full garage!  No more disabled vehicles in there.
