Springs or close trailer?

Springs or close trailer?

Postby akaFrankCastle » Thu Dec 16, 2010 11:16 am

Anyone in or around the Springs have a trailer suitable for hauling a car? I know this is a bit of last minute planning, or lack thereof, but I'd prefer not to tow the '72 home. Putting it on a trailer for the arduous 1 mile ride home might seem excessive, but my preference.

I own a car dolly. The type where you drive the front 2 wheels up on and strap them there. You can't fit a full size truck, but a car, and hence a bronco should probably fit.

Clay, I might have to take you up on that. Thanks.

Pick up of the '72 has been delayed for good reasons. Looking like Saturday afternoon, after the breakfast, will be the earliest it comes home.

Clay, I'll get in touch tomorrow about the dolly.

You'll have to get it Friday night if you need it. I keep it at a friend's house in Black Forrest.
