Post up your Tow rig and/or Trailer

[Bubaman]

This was the load of free mulch I picked up. Not a good idea to tell me if you can load it you can have it. I will ALWAYS find a way to load it.

I love my truck!!! It's a 91 W250. I am in the process of collecting parts to build it into a kick *** tow rig for the car trailer.It's has a 360 in it now but will be a 408 when I am done. It will look good pulling my home built utility trailer which I built from a homemade chassis and a 1960 Dodge utiline bed.

I had an 85 with the 318 which was a great truck until someone decided to go head on with me and then I had a 90 with the cummins and that thing was a tank.

My boss had a 98 or a 99 with the Cummings and that thing would fly at top end. It was a black 4x4rxtended cab with a 5 speed. Up to about 70 I would pull ahead a little with my 97 F-250 power stroke after that all I saw was tail lights.

So I loaded 66 concrete blocks in the truck and hauled my utility trailer loaded with scrap metal. Dropped the blocks off at dads house then loaded the truck full of scrap and dumped the truck and trailer load at the scrappers. Yeah I work my truck and trailer.

Thanks Old dog.I needed a trailer and didn't have the 5-6K in the budget to buy what I wanted so I built this one from mostly scrounged up parts for less then 1K and it is what I want not what was available at a dealer.
It is built it from the 1960 Dodge truck bed from the truck my dad had when I was a kid,and a trailer chassis my dad built about 40 years ago. The trailer axle is the rear axle from a 66 Olds Toronado. The trailer frame is made of 1/4" wall 2"X2" square tube. It has leaf springs and shocks on it with greasable shackles. All the lights are LED.It has E-trac on the inside like they use inside big rig trailers,so there pretty much isn't anything I cant tie down when I haul it.

Built tis drawer set up for the truck over the summer. Its the best set up I've ever had in a pickup.
