One day I was walking down the beach with some friends when someone shouted.....'Look at that dead bird!'
Someone looked up at the sky and said...'where?'

[richard2717]

PISSED OFF RITE NOW! You guys think ur hard just because u jumped me!!!! I handled every 1 of u. I pulled up to the store, as soon as I get out of the car, I got jumped!!! U think u got some good shots 2 my face, but I don't have nothing on my face. I got some marks on my arms & neck, but that ain't nothing.... Bet u weren't expecting me to swing back since it was like 10 against 1. Yeah I'm not gonna lie, I was tired & just wanted to get inside the store for help, but in my family there's no backing down! I was swinging back making sure u caught sum cracks. All I gotta say is u attacked me 1st & jumped me at the store! But CATCH ME OUTSIDE, and we can do this all day! As soon as I got in the store, I bought some Off Spray and ran back outside. They jumped me again, only this time I sprayed them... I had no choice, I hate freaking mosquitoes!! Blood suckers!!! lol... welcome to the Eastern shore

Actually that seems like a pretty good way to tow a disabled pickup. I assume they lashed the steering wheel so it won't turn. Probably the rear tires/wheels are lying in the bed.


Also ... people make pickup bed trailers all the time. I suppose it would be reasonable to leave the cab and just pull off the front end and make a tongue out of the front of the frame, so then you would have a pickup bed trailer with a waterproof toolbox on the front

I have 2 pickup body trailers here now. they come in handy for small stuff and are simple to make.

Only issue I see with the pic above is turning capability. You would really need to be careful to not hit bumpers turning, but other than that I would have no issue towing something like that.

One night we lost the steering in our VW bug and had to walk home. Next day I went over there with the log truck (without the trailer) and jacked up the front of of the car with a Handyman jack and set the bumper up on the pintle hitch and then chained it to the truck frame.

Made for a workable tow truck but it was only a couple of miles. And no I don't have any pictures - that was back in the buy film and develop days. Somewhere in a box there are some pictures of putting a different chassis under the VW body.

I had a friend that moved a cabover camper with a pickup bed trailer and that was scary! Just pivoting on the ball without the front axle it leaned back and forth so much that I thought it was going to turn over.

Back and forth . . . . back and forth . . . .
In and out . . . . in and out . . . .
A little to the right . . . . a little to the left . . . .
She could feel the sweat on her forehead . . . .
Between her breasts . . . . and, trickling down the small of her back . . . .
She was getting near to the end . . . . !!
He was in ecstasy . . . . with a huge smile on his face as his wife moved . . . . Forwards then backwards . . . .
Forward then backward . . . .
Again . . . . and, again . . . . !!
Her heart was pounding now . . . .
Her face was flushed . . . .
She moaned . . . . softly at first, then began to groan louder . . . .
Finally . . . . totally exhausted . . . . she let out a piercing scream . . . .
She shouted . . . . :

"OK, OK, you smug bastard, I can't parallel park . . . .
You do it . . . . !!"

LOL!

And - at least they had the presence of mind to add safety chains.

I had totally forgotten about this but you all have reminded me: when I was but a youth I towed by girlfriend's (now wife) VW bug kind of like that. The front suspension had rusted out and so I picked the front of the car up and set the bumper on the trailer hitch, lifting it just enough to tow it home.

Looking back: (a) that seems like a really bad idea, since the rear bumper was always falling off, and (b) I don't remember how I fixed the suspension, or how I prevented it from doing that on the other side.

It's all just a blur....

Yeah, this was the same thing. The chassis pan had rusted so that it wouldn't hold the four big bolts that hold the front axle. I had already replaced the bolts and added a stack of big washers to try to hold it together. But it was still "working" and eventually broke the rag joint sending us out in a field. Just earlier that day we had been driving on a narrow mountain jeep trail!

I'm surprised the axle just didn't stay on the ground but there must have been something still holding it, just not very well. I fixed it by unbolting the body and replacing the entire chassis pan with a good one from a wrecked bug we already had. Just as well because we had never registered the replacement bug anyway - figured no cop would ever want to pull out the back seat and try to read the VIN. When I was done it was the right one anyway

Apparently the bumper was still solid but I'm sure I hooked the chain(s) to something back underneath so it cradled the front of the car like a wrecker would. It was a one time thing and a long time ago so I don't remember exactly. It was only a couple miles on a back road to get to where we were living then.

John Steinbeck had a plastic bucket with lid hanging on a bungee cord in the closet in his pickup camper for doing laundry on the road in Travels With Charley. I still remember that
