The New Bird Hauler Part Deux!!

Well, time for me to retire the old Sanford and Son dually!

Got to keep up the Image instead of looking Ragged and like I woke up at 5PM Somewhere. I know you will all be Wizard's of Ahh's admiring the NEW (to me) dually. I knew that it was time to upgrade trucks now that I'm going to be trailer my Thirdbird further then ever before, and now it can be done in some sort of comfort.

Spare all the comments about having a new truck to haul the motors around...Been there, done that!

Can't resist........ Two engines are a tight fit in the short box, the long box is a practical choice. The hay bale tie downs could come in real handy.

Just be sure to have a "SNIFF TEST" done, farm duty can have "LINGERING" effects on a vehicle. You wouldn't want to become known as the "WIZZARD OF AHH'sh!t", or "SMELLIN' THE MOST"

2WD?

if it is, a coupla spare motors in the back would be an advantage getting that load up a slippery ramp with a 2WD duallie.

otherwise Mike and I will keep our tow staps handy.

light duty for the 'Maxes.

Re: The New Bird Hauler Part Deux!!

......and after all the diesel bashing, I've decided to dump my '06 duramax and buy the S&S dually to tow the polaris 900 around, the current setup is a little bit of overkill for 300lbs.

Re: The New Bird Hauler Part Deux!!

Are we going to have an all-white hauling crew? Mine is white, Axa's is white, I think 5PM said his is white. How about Rip and Rag? Colors/pics?










Rip and Rag,,,,,,,,,, I kinda like that.

Re: The New Bird Hauler Part Deux!!

Nice truck! Not to start a Ford vs Chevy debate here, but that truck could be a 4wd. You never really know on a Chevy since they are soooo low in the front...
