    If you do that just right, you could have a 3 axle unit for the heavy haul.

    I started out with a Hilbilt trailer. They were a very good trailer before Clement bought them out.

    Makin some headway. The new cut off is mostly ready now. Got most of the stuff off the frame of the truck… the truck is very rusty but seems to be coming apart ok. I have a doctors appointment mid morning tomorrow then back at it. Depending on how soon I get there I might get the single cut off? Found 8 aluminum Alcoa wheels yesterday for $50 each from the scrap yard. They are going to pull them off the axles sometime this week.they have tires on them so another $10 each to get rid of them.

    Looking good. Are you going to weld it or hire it out? If you decide that little Volvo with the N14 isn't needed, give me a shout!

No dentist or doctors appointments to ruin my day… Back out to pickup a load on Friday then hopefully get it wired and plumbed back together on Saturday before I leave with my load on Sunday?

    That's a trailer that should never see dirt. Just wash it, wax it, and put it on display. Putting that thing NEAR anything that could scratch that paint should be a criminal offense.
