SOLD!! One was going to be stock and the other a hot rod. Just took delivery of this chassis. Still in a wooden crate. Paid 25K

Have a C19 and 20 for parts.

I'll have pictures tomorrow.

Thank you.

I think that I have those. I'll check for that stuff at the estate tomorrow.

Sure, that would be great. The widow wants it all to go to good homes.

I do cars and this just happen last week. I'm going over to the house tomorrow. Thanks for all the input.

Thank you. Any airplane experts here?

Where is a good place to advertise airplanes for sale? Had a friend that passed away and he was in the business restoring antique airplanes. Thanks Dave

Talk to my UHaul rep. They were buying GoodYear tires and they would not hold up. I would say that they know what they are talking about with having over 50k trailers. MMMM

Here is a 36 windshield crank that he rebuilt. This is the caliber of work that he did.

I'll know Sat of what parts will be for sale. He does have fenders. Just discovered that he bought a 36 4 dr rust free sedan for parts. 4 cars in the pile plus a lot of parts that have been restored. He had just finished building a state of the art spray booth that is large enough to put a twin engine Cessna inside to paint. He has a complete machine shop in his hanger that he used to restore his cars and mainly antique airplanes. His house is attached to the hanger. The hanger door is about 30ft wide.

Thank you, John. We were supposed to fly a WW1 trainer to Oshkosh that he is rebuilding next year to put it up for sale. Open twin cockpit. That was the last thing we talked about before he went to the Oshkosh show. http://www.chron.com/news/texas/article/Pilot-found-dead-in-wreckage-of-crashed-plane-in-11820163.php

A good customer and friend just were killed in a plane crash last week. He was a 25 plus year judge at the Oshkosh air show. He bought a 60s Piper that was in TN. He restores old planes and been a pilot for 40 plus years and worked for the airlines until he retired 10 years ago. He flew commercially to TN from CA to fly the plane back home. He crashed near Las Vegas NM. I will be helping his widow with the estate. He was building 3-36 dodge coupes. One hot rod that he has owned since he was 20? He said more miles on being towed than driven. The other was going to be stock and the other basically a parts car. He has a machine shop that he did a lot of his own work. I will post the inventory at a later date with details. Start you want list here. Thanks Dave

I totally agree. Been doing U-Haul for 6 years and rented hundreds of these trailers. Never heard of an incident. I have pulled these trailers with my 1/2 ton Chev local around here and had a 62 Chev on the trailer. These trailers are built pretty well. I was impressed by the handling and the ease of loading. It only takes about 10 minutes but I did a 4 point tie down. Here is the truck that I use.

Info on the one car trailer posted on the pass side fender. Where have you seen jackknife bumper stops? They do work.

My background to speak about this subject. I have been hauling cars from 1968 to present. Started with a single car and worked my self up to a 14 car hauler. Logged 4 million plus miles accident-free. I use to own a tow truck company in the 80s and 90s with 15 tow trucks from light duty to heavy duty with rotators and an air bag recovery system. I presently run a tow company in the hills of northern CA. We are also a U-Haul satellite terminal with limited trucks, trailers, pads, and dollies. I have never seen a U-Haul car hauler in trouble that a U-Haul truck was pulling. Most of these are pulled with our U-Haul trucks and seldom with personal vehicles. When I haul cars on a hauler, we have to have a 4 point tie down, (all 4 corners) I ask my U-Haul field rep about this. He said that on a single car trailer, it's not mandatory. I asked our CA DOT man and he said that it's not mandatory that only a safety chain is required in the rear. We have to check the towing setup on personal vehicles and ask what they are towing. We have no control what the customer does once he has left our shop. I saw one customer put a 65 Chry Imp on the trailer and when he pick the trailer up from us, he put down a Honda Civic. If he is involved in an accident, he is fully responsible for damage to our equipment and personal property. For a number of accidents for the equipment we rent out, there are more accidents with personal people hauling-pulling trailers than the big 3 rental companies. This is what happened in Canada. LOL

This is what could go wrong when not loaded properly and the biggest problem? GOING TO FAST!!!!!
