why you should never give me 500 dollars:
i go and i buy stuff like this:
scored it for 500, now i have to battle the DMV to register it, but that's fun for later.
its a '67 M762 3/4 ton flat bed trailer.
the good:
looks relatively unmolested, besides the cage on top (staying for now)
tracked very well on the drive home, didnt clang around nearly as much as i thought it would. im extremely pleased!
the bad:
tires are crap:
one of the shocks is missing a bushing, and parking brakes disconnected:
some less than clean welds, but im not worried. it will be a great trailer with some small, relatively inexpensive upgrades. then after my summer trip i can start pouring money into the blender.
few questions for those in the know:
tires need to be replaced, with what? dont have alot of money to spend on new hubs/axles/tires/wheels. if i could find mil spec replacement tires, that would be ok for now, then i can sell them at a later date when i do upgrade to 6 lug hubs and matching wheels and tires.
registering the thing. doesnt have a title or registration. just apply for a new title? i have my bill of sale and the previous owner's bill of sale.
