i think its sagged because his driveway slopes down right where the rear wheel is. if it isnt that..... how the hell do you see in front of you when towing? youd be staring at the sky!

Joey-D · 03-15-2004, 04:14 AM

Here this one shows the truth, but still compare the from tire to fender to the rear. Hella sag, and normally I am at about a 2-3" rake.

This thread brings up an interesting response. I see all of this hauling and towing going on and from me trying to get my insurance ID card from Hagetry to present to my DMV for my license plate. Hagerty says that I can't use the truck for hauling, towing or Off road use using their Classic Car insurance. Is this the norm for using classic car insurance to cover the truck? My original classic car is a 67 Dodge Charger, and the truck is riding the coat tails of the Charger for Classic rates. Hagerty's feeling is that I can only drive one car at a time and only need liability coverage for one classic. They make their money by providing coverage for the agreed valued placed on the value of the classic vehicle. I had to sign an agreement that I wouldn't use the truck for hauling or towing. What are other opinions on this type of insurance coverage?

Jwill41 · 03-15-2004, 10:37 AM

Joey-D, the 69 looks like it is broke in half, LOL.

Castiron9 · 03-15-2004, 12:47 PM

Buy a beater truck for hauling

Joey-D · 03-15-2004, 01:04 PM

I have taken the old bed floor out at my old address, it is getting replaced with a piece of alumium. So in the picture there is no floor. Or maybe it was the wild body drop I was doing, LOL!

OLDROCK&ROLLER · 03-15-2004, 09:48 PM

The only thing my truck hauls is A$$..

This has been my favorite thread to check up on since I have joined this forum. It's really cool to see what everyone hauls with their trucks. I don't have a truck yet myself but when I do I'm sure I will have some cool pictures to take. You'd be amazed by all the things I have been able to haul with my mom's minivan (using a trailer). I cut down 100 trees on our lot and hauled them all away with a 1992 Ford Aerostar. Man I really need a good truck.

HEY SCRUB,
HOW ABOUT POSTING A BIGGER PIC. OF YOUR AVATAR I WOULD LOVE TO SHOW A COUPLE OF FORD LOVERS THAT PIC.
THEY DON'T BELIEVE THAT OUR TRUCKS CAN WORK. I NEED TO PRINT A BIGGER COPY OF THAT PIC. WITH YOUR TRUCK LOADED WITH ALL THAT WOOD.

68gmcdually · 04-13-2004, 08:55 PM

I am a firm believer that these trucks where built to be worked. That is why mine is being mounted on a late model chev 3500 chassis to haul the fifth wheel trailer around. That is of course after I complete the 18" cab extension.

my fathers truck hauled a load of bricks from omaha(150 miles) the load was so heavy that our skid loader could not get it off the truck(est 6500lbs), we had to unload by hand. its a 73 chevy 3/4 ton. my truck(before lift) was used to haul 7000 pounds of seed beans many times, used to stack them on the hood the bed and the trailer. its 72 3/4 ton
