CBFryman 2 Posted July 19, 2006 got watermelon farms near you?we picked a little 4'x8' flat bed with a flat tire off of a local farmer for $100. $50 for a new tire and rim and it is good to go. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CBFryman 2 Posted July 19, 2006 4'x8' should handle a 'rex too. maybe not the suspension/axle. But dimetion wise.28 cynder blocks and 6 40lbs bags of top soil and we blew the bead on the tire with the last bag.that is ~ 1400lbs i think 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBFryman 2 Posted July 19, 2006 worse comes to worse you could build one for less than $500 if you are a decent welder and have acess to a good MIG if you need it made out of aluminum t osave weight or just Heli Arc if you can use steel.What truck do you have?Also, if you build it from steel dont use galvanized steel. it'll make you sick as a dog. Just take the time to paint it afterwards 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I am going shopping for one asap.How the hell did you guys get that thing down to 1300 lbs? Is there no engine/transaxle in it? That car should be close to 2K stock. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jntar 15 Posted July 23, 2006 Its either on the carb gasket or in the gasket to this thing. Still trying to find what it is in my manual. Its not leaking at the top, but at the bottom where the arm extends into the carb.Little better pic... 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
