2 squares 1 car trailer

this is how you load 2 squares on 1 car trailer...2 cabs, 2 beds, 2 4x4 frames, and 2 core supports...don't mind the tow vehicle...lol

Re: 2 squares 1 car trailer

Did you make it home without the highway patrol stopping you?

Glad to read you made it home without a problem. Wasn't concerned about the gross, more concern with securing the load. Having just missed an airborne mattress a couple of weeks ago, I tend to stay clear of loaded trailers.

Looks like you have some parts to work with.

Re: 2 squares 1 car trailer

The bedsides on the red bed look like they are in great shape. Hope they find a home somewhere.

I think only the inner fenders on that bed are good...the bedsides are rusted pretty good back where the taillights are...

I like the tow vehicle also...don't tell anyone...I picked it up from my buddy's house Friday evening and brought it back yesterday...we drove that truck to dinner Friday night and about 4 hours total on the highway back and forth Saturday...it's got a Bully Dog chip and straight exhaust on it...I can tell you I fell in love...I'm going to build my crewcab into a dually and I'm going to be bad and put a Cummins in it...already decided on it...

Re: 2 squares 1 car trailer

it's all actually going to the scrap yard for Randy (lvschevytrucks on here)...and I know there's only those two straps holding everything down, but everything's locked into each other...the two frames are on the bottom, the beds are locked in over them and the cabs are cut in half and set in the beds...the straps are holding the cabs into the beds and securing the load from shifting...there's really not alot of weight on the straps at rest...

Re: 2 squares 1 car trailer

thanks...if I wasn't confident in the load I wouldn't have taken it like that...I had my wife, two kids, and two helpers in the truck with me...no way I would have taken the chance...
