Re: 54 Bed Bookcase

No listed price means it probably costs a lot more than any of us want to pay for it.

Re: 54 Bed Bookcase

I dunno... if he charges a bunch for the bookcase maybe I can get money back on delivery. Gas only to NH could be much cheaper than truck freight.

Re: 54 Bed Bookcase

Always thought it would be Cool to build a Barbeque from the Spare parts of a Front end,
Hood could be the Lid, Also thought about using spare parts i have to make a front end
on my open trailer to protect the front end of my truck, like a faring on front.

Re: 54 Bed Bookcase

I've got a beat up 69 box on a trailer I built that is just about too ugly to go to the dump with that would be a good donor for a bench like Ogre. showed. Only pickup bed trailer I ever built that doesn't tow good.

I think I have enough left over bed pieces to build a book case but my wife sure wouldn't let that in the house and this house is way too small for that anyhow.

A guy up the road from my house builds these for someone else who then sells 'em. They aren't cheap, either.

I just texted him, he is asking $1000. I made one of those just like that but I cut the fenders off flush with the bottom of the bed so I could put it against the wall. I had a couple hundred in it. Used barn tin and wood for the shelves and the back.

I have made a couple things with old "junk" from around the house, and folks pay some serious bucks for it.
