Thanks, i paid a 100 bucks for it all.
They want 50 bucks for 2-4 feet of track on ebay and the grapple sells for 175 to 250.

If I would have had someone who looked like Teri Garr did back then, I would have been rolling in the hay,too.

It was still a job cutting the levers and latches out and arranging so they worked proper,not made for heavy loads.
