Re: Bumps At Work!

Post by fordman »

i put a parts truck to work for me tonight. it wasnt very much or a heavy load but i did use it to move a pile of limbs fromt he front yard all the way to the back yard to the burn pile. it was better than dragging several braches at a time in several trips. i had the parts truck hooked up to go home so we backed it with the car dolly into the front yard. loaded the bed full of branches. drove it into the back yard and off loaded the branches. it wasnt a big load. it may have been just as easy to move the branches by hand. but i didnt want to work much more today so we just loaded them up and moved them to the burn pile.

You can feel it when trying to take off but man I love every minute of those big Camper Special brakes!
Man that is one heck of a bumper you got on that thing! :thup:

NEver know when you'll need a good swim deck, ya know?

It's ugly but kinda nice to have that nice big step that sticks out well beyond the tailgate, nice when moving stuff around.
