    Yes not all of us want four(?) trailers like you :p:p

    The more I can get out of one setup the happier I would be.

    Having the right tool for the job makes the job easier.

    Only on wannabe show trucks (and they don't seem to understand that $125,000 for a nicely done up mid-2000's Pete with tons of miles is way too much money for a 15 year old truck).

    I've found plenty of 359's and 379's that are a little rough around the edges (original paint, 2-3+ million miles on the truck, rebuilt within the last 250,000 miles) and in the $20-30,000 price range. I just wish I had the money to pull the trigger.

    $20-30,000 for a truck, $10-20,000 for upgrades, $20,000 for the bank for repairs.

    I'm thinking the spring loaded supports will detach and allow that. Without detaching them no it won't, they stick up over my 13'-6".

    My skiddy was down there. We looked at buying a lot twenty some years ago. I couldn't believe how it had devolped. There happens to be a lot for sale across from a friend of mine...well a ditch really.

    We'll check into it.

    I'll stop and look at the pickup we was gonna look at this week. It's on my way. I've never sat in one of these old 40's trucks and don't know if my back can taking driving one but this one sure is purty.

    Took my kids to the Children’s Museum. Saw this guy wearing a shirt that said “Human Rights Campaign”. On the back it said housing is a basic human right, and I almost barfed. He can take that BS back to Commiefornia, it’s up to your deadbeat parents to provide that, and then get your sorry ### a job and provide it for yourself.
