Gin truck from the old days?

I would say yes it is.

Two sets of duals on the bed?  One pic it looks like the chain holding the poles in a stationary position is on the inside (driver's side) edge of one set but yet in another pic there's a set in the middle with the chain on the outside.
It needs another winch to run the gin poles up and down unless it's an optical illusion.  It's painted up in RC Williams' colors, a western Kansas rotary rig moving service from days of old.  There's a museum in Russell, Kansas with a bunch of old iron.

Yeah, I have too much time on my hands.

Don't buy it, it's missing the left mirror.


Man, that thing's too cool! It's just begging to be a car hauler in it's 2nd life.

[Steve P.]

That is cool.. My first thought was a car hauler also..    Todd, do you know what year it is?

Aha, that explains it.  I thought about checking your site.

While I was in the patch the company I was with built a new Gin truck.  It had three winches, all air actuated from inside the cab.  No more opening the back window reaching out and pulling levers.  That extra winch made it nice picking drill pipe, collars cause you could pick the pipe centered with two lines wrapped around a bundle versus trying to find center with only one line.

International Paystar 5000's were a popular oil patch rig back there.
