Hualers: Let's see what you pull your trailers with - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Okay Guys I've seen a few pics around here with your trucks and trailers. Lets see what you guys use to hual with, especially anyone that make a statement. They need not bear any of the Generals names.

I thinking as a future project, of buildup on a International KB series truck from the late forties. Just think if you dropped a 375 cat in.

Should also handle 15000 lbs too!

I have 3 Cummins diesel pickups. All have standard transmissions and the two newer ones are the HO engine.

I tow a trailer 5 or 6 days a week usually. Depends on which trailer as to which truck I use to pull with.

The grey truck is my wife's daily driver.

Thinking about trading for an older 3/4 ton or 1 ton Chevy. Fast Dev's got the right idea. Truck payments are crap.

longhorn71 · 12-21-2004, 01:22 AM

2002 ram sport 1/2.4.7 gas!!!It has the power to tow but not the springs!!!hauled a 67 gmc 1-ton with it at 100km/h but it was hard on it.I have a 72 gmc 1-ton that will replace it.

784X4GUY · 12-22-2004, 12:02 AM

Im on vacation up here in washington so I don't have any pics right now. But my rig is a 04 2500HD CCSB with the 8.1L Allision and 4.10's with a eaton posi oh yeah its 4X4 also.

chevjayfsd · 12-22-2004, 01:17 AM

Gotta Love those Cummins!!!!

784X4GUY · 12-22-2004, 12:20 PM

Yeah cummins are nice, But Id rather have a cat!

SCOTI · 12-22-2004, 07:24 PM

Fast Dev gets my vote as well. But, 1/2 tons will do the job to . . .....

1972ChevyCheyenne · 12-22-2004, 07:26 PM

Zeeklu, That is some pretty impresive iron. Then largest load I've see is when at work when the moved the three low pressure turbines about mile and a half for one of the 900 MegaWatt electric generating units. I'll have to get a closer look if they bring in anymore to complete the turbine swaps in the other 2 units. Also have the largest motors you'll ever see 11 MW power, about 14600 HP assuming 750 W = 1 HP, and that's no

Lots of nice hualers here. Thanks for the pics.

Jamie

Blue_71 · 12-22-2004, 09:46 PM

heres the best pic of mine with a trailer, 89 LD K2500, stock 350 with 223K miles in this pic, up to 226K now and i just used it for the same thing last weekend.. its out of commision until tomarow when i put the repaired radiator in though

PS-those things weigh 1500-2000 lbs each per roll, 8 of em on there... i think in that pic its the 6 ft rolls (closer to 1 ton per roll)... they're sitting on a 20 ft steel flat bed with wood floor

EyeH8the24 · 12-22-2004, 09:57 PM

this is our future hauler....making a crew cab out of it now ...btw it will be powered by a tpi 454....hehe....

arkracing · 12-22-2004, 10:12 PM

i like the COE..that will be sweet...post picks of progress.

I know where the is a big COE near me..and everytime i drive buy i want to buy it and take it home...but never stop, and never have anything big enough to take it home with. but it would make a KickA** CarCarrier

EyeH8the24 · 12-22-2004, 10:24 PM

we have it on a 91 gm motor home frame...will be the first time we have tried to make a crew cab..so if any of u have tried ..let me know what we r in for ...we have two coe's..and one parts truck...hope to make a nice looking ,and dependable hauler.......

Prerunner1982 · 12-22-2004, 11:16 PM

if any of youll get stuck just call me..

only a 5 speed and tops out at 57mph, has a 20k lbs winch in the back, only a 10k lbs up front.

arkracing · 12-23-2004, 12:05 AM

now that's a truck!!!

as far as the QuadCab COE - it won't be easy. I think if i was doing it I would find a regular truck cab of the same year and use the full size doors. for the rear.

Making the "B Pillar" or center Pillar is going to be the tough part.
I would just cut the roof of the one cab in the front and the back onthe other and start welding....carefully

Motor Home frame huh? that's a good idea. never thought of that...and you can find them with BBCs in them too!!! is it a pain to remove the motor home part? or is it a bolt on deal like any other truck?

EyeH8the24 · 12-23-2004, 07:01 PM

we had to torch the motor home part off it was welded to the frame!!! but a big dozier and a good torch operator made easy work of it hehe
