The older spotlghts had white handles on them m Unity stopped production of them long ago but they still turn up in swap meets and junkyards on a regular basis . Unity still makes the early spot light for your truck if you want to by it new (about $150.00 IIRC) and they still make the all

Hi, on 6-1-06, I had my 1946 Plymoth Woodie transported from Seattle WA to PHX AZ for $525. I used Tri Western Transport, LLC, 206 310-5366. Ray was the driver of Truck #5, an 5 car open hauler, who placed my Woodie on top to keep people from getting near it. Total time, three days. I give

Guys From about 1957 until 1980, I drove a wrecker, was a cop and drove an ambulance at various times. It may sound like an old fart talking, but, in the earlier years when seat belts and safety standards weren't there, we saw some horrible injuries caused by mainly 2 things. First, the

I drove out Ohio and hauled a truck back on an 18 foot flatbed trailer I bought on the internet and had delivered in Columbus. I sold the trailer when I got back to Denver. For the price, this sounds like a much better solution! Alan '50 Chevy 1/2 ton Denver, CO - Original Message

The GVW of your old truck doesn't matter, weight that matters would be what that truck and the trailer you haul it on weighs. I doubt the truck weighs more than 6000, so a 4000 pound trailer should be big enough to carry it, and still keep you under the max your truck is rated for. Be aware

Don't forget that GVW means the max weight that the truck can weigh including cargo, people, fuel, etc. It has little to do with the curb weight (actual) weight of the truck other than the fact that the extra equipment necessary for a truck to carry a lot of cargo usually makes the truck weigh
