That occurred to me when I weighed out, but then I forgot about it. I will go back tomorrow if I get a chance and weigh the truck.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

You always wonder what buttons they push with these electronic scales, both paying at landfill and receiving at scrap yard. I will pull on and it sets at a number, then someone does something and all the numbers flail around to a new number. You just have to trust what they're doing. What would that trailer weight?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I pulled across the scales this morning (It's on the way to the coffee shop).

Truck scaled 5,150 lbs
my fat butt - 230 lbs
Sheet OSB, lawn tools and uniforms in -100 lbs


Truck with half tank of fuel 4,820 lbs

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

So that trailer weighs 4,490 empty.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I have a 26 foot travel trailer that weighs about 5800 pounds. There must be a lot of steel in that trailer! Do/can you haul farm implements on it?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

We haul mini-ex's, skid steers, tractors etc.. If you look one over, it's not hard to see the weight. The subframe is a load in itself, and add an all steel body and there you go.

We have three of these trailers, And we have power struggles over who gets them all the time.They are one handy piece of equipment. On small jobs they haul the machine, retrieve materials, haul off the waste, load the machine and leave.

Hauling waste is much less expensive than a dumpster. We have run the numbers, and one of these pays for itself in less then 18 months. On small jobs sooner because of the delivery and pickup on the dumpster.

Down side is most of our trucks require a CDL to pull these.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

What is a CDL? Here, I'd call it a California Driver's License, but that is no indication of quality, based on what I see driving around here. :lol:

Man your truck ROCKS

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I used to do a lot of builders. That looks like a good one.

That truck needs to live farther south where we don't have salt. I could even keep it at my place. :lol::lol:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Do they use salt in Cahoots? Maybe you and I could share it there? 😜

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I just took notice of your K/20 last night in that 'driver' thread and really liked it. Now I see you ain't lyin' about using for chores. A healthy load there. Is that a smile I see on that truck? Just my kind of truck and use for them. That truck would not be overlooked at a show either!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I think Cahoots is in Maryland. It's where the hiway dept, salt producers,and auto mfgrs are located.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Park the truck at my place for a couple of hours and it would be incognito.

Well that don't work, because I couldn't change anything about it.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Biggest load I've hauled since completing the resto:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Looks like you should have made two trips!

I'll bet the steering was really light and squirrelly on the drive home.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Terrible picture I know, but I closed my PhotoBucket account, and with it went a lot of good pictures. :mad:

All I have left now are some old photo album pictures on film (remember that stuff?) that I can scan to my PC.

This was just after I bought the truck in '95, check out that goofy wide rear bumper that came off of who knows what.

Yes I replaced it.

...that was a fun weekend! :D

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I hauled some steel last week, then a Dana 60 front axle a few days later, this is my new Dana 70. Friends and family hate the lift gate. This is why I bought it, I probably wouldn’t have picked up the 70 unless I had the gate. Bought from a private party and he didn’t have a hoist, we Just drug it over to the gate and strapped it on, then I drug it off onto a cart when I got home, made a very difficult task easy.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Last Monday, camping. In between the trees, so not too much to see. Then when I got home, I forgot to get a broadside shot before putting it back in storage.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Here are a different kind of truck hauling pictures. On our way up to the truck show at Carlisle

Tim what is that device you are holding in the mirror? Is that a REAL camera? I haven't seen one used in years. :lol:

Everybody uses phones for pics now days. Oh I have a digital camera too, somewhere, dead battery and all..

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Yep, that's the Canon Powershot I bought in '07 that I have used to take every picture I've posted since.

This was last weekend. I went to a friend's to run the metal on his shop gables. That's the 30' walkboard on the ground with 2 24' pump jack poles and on the truck is my little 18'er I like to lay the poles on and my 24' Babcock wooden ladder. Not much of a load in the picture, but it's hauling and I hauled it all up the road a couple hours away. This old truck doesn't play games :ito:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

That old girl has earned her keep for sure.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!

Pics Of The Truck Hauling
 

I seem to have lost the photos of my '69 C/10 hauling old engines so here's one of my old GMC in Randsburg, California, heading to Death Valley :

Attachment 1802166 .

I sort of miss this giant, it was a special order heavy duty 3/4 tonner for Northwest Van Lines when new, not anything extra, I hauled and towed many things with it larger and heavier than it was .

Slowly of course, I have no death wish apart from riding Motocycles .

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Very cool, me and the old man have been working on VWs and Chevy's since I can remember.
As of now I have a 68 C10, he has a 70 C20, 2 Karmann Ghias, 3 Bugs, and a 66 Minibus. Would be great to get them all in one picture one day.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Awesome! I've had plenty bugs, 64 bus, would love a 60's Ghia.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I miss my old VWs

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Put the bed crossbars on today, and looked over my parts after a one year hiatus. Funny how much you can forget about parts in a short amount of time if you don't label everything...

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Oh now you are really tempting me. ;)
