It may take five min to weld it on, but it will take you an hour to cut it off.
My dumb a$$ had no idea that when making a trailer you cant weld the safety chains on. So I did. Spent a good part of the morning (prior to jumping in to lighting issue) grinding them off and u bolting another set of chains on. I get it inspected on Tues, I hope the great state of Washington dosn't have any other gripes on it. That would suck!

our truck bed trailer has the chains welded on, but then again there arent any inspections in kentucky

toms68cst · 06-10-2002, 05:29 AM

You have to have trailers inspected???? I've never heard of such a thing.

Sweet 68! Do you have any closer pictures of it?

**ThreeQuarter** · 06-10-2002, 05:20 PM

What are safety chains?

LOL! Texas requires them, too, but there are no mandatory inspections (only the kind performed by anal state troopers).

Oooh, yes, show me more pics of the C20!

**68SWB4x4** · 06-10-2002, 05:24 PM

you know towing with wornbrakes isnt very safe

WORNBRAKES · 06-10-2002, 06:45 PM

Worn brakes or not, I can't tow with this mess.

WORNBRAKES · 06-10-2002, 06:49 PM

LMAO Just kidding. It only looks like this. Until I fix the lights.

**68SWB4x4** · 06-10-2002, 09:48 PM

Anal state troopers and that old coot in Hearne that drives the ratty old gray Chevy Caprice... you know, the one who nails you for doing 25.0000001 in his 25MPH zone that magically appears on Hwy 6 after the 55 MPH zone. Rat ba$tard!

**68SWB4x4** · 06-10-2002, 11:56 PM

nice truck! needs some wheels though

WORNBRAKES · 06-11-2002, 01:56 AM

The wife and I both agree that it needs wheels. She just wont give me the $$$ for them. lol

**68SWB4x4** · 06-11-2002, 02:46 AM

thats what would really set it off, just some basic eagle 589s or something would look real good

**ThreeQuarter** · 06-11-2002, 12:03 PM

Nah, just needs some factory-original hubcaps. What a great looking C20.
