Yesterday I replaced the bracket that the pastowner had cut off. I have been using bungee cords, I drilled out spotweds on my DC and a parts bus I have, and rewelded without burning paint on outside.  |

Drove the DC on wed morn, before surgery. I need to get my "Big" engine back together. A huge difference between the two engines. The stocker runs great, but not enough butt. This will keep me rolling untill 1641 is back together with the proper tin.

That will be great for selling parts out of it. You need to see how many milk crates fit inside of it. How much weight can it handle?

I don't know the weight rating, but it has a pretty heavy frame. The rest is sheet metal. I think with a solid floor, like aluminum or plywood, it would be solid. I bought it so I can drag swapmeet stuff HOME. I bought some stuff at FT. Wayne and had to wrap it up so I didn't get grease all over my truck. Show trucks don't make the best JUNK haulers!!!  I thought this trailer was cool, plus I didn't see too many with the top, and the most important reason it was CHEAP!!!! ;D |
