Re: Junkyard C30 stepside work truck "build"

Wow! Looks great, doesn't it? Looked even worse in person.

So, I went and checked it out; ended up driving it up onto the trailer for $600 (which was really too much for a POS one ton).

Thus begins the journey--actually, the journey began before that. The new C30 was too barbaric for the (borrowed) late-model ('02-'03 IIRC?) F-150 and 16' car trailer with no brakes (and a low tire...nice), and the first thing that happened was the C30 asserting it's dominance by picking the rear of the F-150 up several inches off the ground and pushing it the first time it hit the ramps.

A couple more attempts with someone in the F-150 holding the brakes, and we were ready for the real fun! It didn't want to pull it very much.

But we got back home eventually, and no one died in the process (at least no one of any importance...).

Lets take some better pictures!
