First day at work for Young Frankenstein.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Thank you, it's real clean, everything works and it hasn't been hacked up. I'll keep fixing it up and driving it. Would like to paint it this summer too. Don't want to make it a show truck, just a nice driver. If I got it as nice as some of the trucks on this site, I would be afraid to drive it. Thanks again.

My C30 hauling the "Griz".

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Good looking C30! If memory serves, you had some engine issues. You must have gotten them sorted out.
Looking good!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Here's my C20 bringing home my newly acquired Coats tire changer and balancer. About 1100 lbs of equipment.

Getting them off the truck by myself the next day was a whole other story... :lol:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

And here it is hauling a good portion of the 70 CST parts truck I bought to the scrapper:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Can't forget my short stepside. Before I got the C20 on the road, it did all of the grunt work. Here is is bringing a fresh load of OSB for my new garage:

That's a great picture...does the dog just sit on random tree stumps on command? lol

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Sold my 66 Extended cab last year and the guy came to pick it up with this sweet tow truck..

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

He does anything on command! Plus he's always in the way in pics so I just make him stay in the shot.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

That's a great dog.
How come I have the sneakin suspicion that he rode in the trailer, layin on your bed, droolin' on yer pillow...?

A side note...:
I had a black lab that seemed to have the same goofy traits as your Chocolate Lab....
Always in the middle of everything..etc....and so on...
But, among other things.....when he had to take a dump, he would find anything from a shrub to a stump to a rock pile...and he would "hang" his pile on it. It was remarkably funny....you could tell just what he was up to.....he would approach the shrub....or even a fence....and kinda start to lift his tail and hump his back....and lay his ears back a bit....and rotate at least once, and then kinda slide up to and over....and let it go...
The funniest thing.....you would be walkin through the well manicured , nicely maintained yard.....maybe escorting Great Aunt Phyllis by the arm....and there it is.....just hangin' there on the recently trimmed hedge....a "Jake Turd".
Me, always over-analizing things...trying to figure things out....well I came up with the theory that....Jake, being the athlete that he was...Frisbee Champ....fetchin fool and all...He just didn't want to run into a pile while he was concentrating on catching a ball or somethin.
I guess.

BTW...I never ever stepped in a pile of his....ever. (Thanks Jake...RIP)

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Wow Sideways your truck looks great. Wish mine was a 3/4 ton so i could tow the boat also lol Doesnt even look like its phasing your truck.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

You got that right.
Your truck looks right at home with that camper, do you have overload coil helpers?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Yeah got factory overload leafs and air shocks so she handles the load great compared to the old ford in the back ground drives better too lol

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

This is my "train" of trucks I pulled from Arkansas a couple of years ago. The rear truck has a tow bar that's attached to the trailer. I pulled this rig 650 miles & it was a little nerve racking. The towed truck would start weave back & forth if I went over 55mph. The truck doing the pulling has a cummins in it.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Soul train!!:fro:

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Lol, how many times did you get pulled over? I bet you got some looks too! What was the story- were you moving or buy one get one free deal?

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Bought them both on ebay. Parted both of them (kept the good stuff for myself!). Had to pick the states that allowed a "trailer hooked to a trailer". Had a state trooper pass me slowly in KY- but no problems. Didn't try backing it up!!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Using the rusty K20 to haul some wood. Headed through the field after this and challenged the 4x4 a little!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

We bought some round bales lately that are much heavier than our usual, about 1300 to 1500 pounds. My poor tractor could lift them, but not steer with that much weight. I put them on the back of the truck and tried to balance them just right so I could just drop them off with a stab of the pedal. Glad again for the no-spin I put in this fall. The pastures are very muddy this time of year, at least when they aren't frozen.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Aaron, you are a genius.

Your builds make me embarrassed for even trying (Yes, I know thats not the idea or point)

Your finishes are stunning.

I am looking at getting a 60-66 Chevy truck to tow my teardrop with......

Thread here.

My 1963 Ford Taunus Transit FK1250 towning it yesterday.

I imported the van as a former Village Fire engine from Germany in 2007. It has a modern fuel injected 16 valve Ford 1800cc Zetec engine and can haul ass if needed.

Your teardrop just blew me away.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

That is beyond cool! My red one ton dually pictured above is also a retired fire truck, our old brush unit from my department. I like seeing old fire apparatus, even though I couldn't imagine responding to a fire in something so small! :lol: And that camper is awesome as well, the wooden side and porthole window is just classic!

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Thank you, your praise is generous.

Here is the full build thread for my Teardrop.

I am a bit of a serial "fiddler" I like to make stuff, and like the teardrop, I do best when making it up as I go along.

CLICKY LINKY

The sides were meant to be Ally clad as well, like the rest of the camper, but by the 7th coat of varnish we realized the wood had to stay, and I am really pleased we did, it forms a neat contrast.

The Portholes are wooden wall clock face surrounds, bought for £1 or $1.50 each at a new cheap store opening, I bought four of them, and sandwiched the walls and also the "glass" which is policarbonate cut from discarded caravan windows

I tried to add a quirky feel to it, as it is a quirky thing in itself.

Thought I would just add this in as it links to my post above about the teardrops.

NO MORE GRIZZ MOBILE......

After getting some advice on removing the Graffitti which this bus was known by, as it may put some buyers off, I have used some thinners, a couple of rags and done 4 passes on it all, soak, scrub, scrub, wash and then wiped again with a good old T-shirt.

Next up some polish and a bit of rubbing should see it almost disappear.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

Grizz, your van and trailer are awesome! Those wheels darn near look like early EMPI wheels for a VW. They are cool looking.

Re: Lets see pics of your truck hauling!!
 

I love the teardrop trailers.I've got a chassis, and axle that I hope to someday build my own with.

I towed my sandbuggy up to the dunes recently.This trailer is homebuilt too :)
