    Is that a Morris Minor?
    Never thought to take pics when I've used the Forty (avatar) as a wagon - no back seat, I've loaded all sorts in there! I'll take a pic next time - cool thread, great to see old cars (& trucks) being USED!!

    Here's mine hauling the axles for the trailer I was building - now hauled by this truck.

    I also haul that thing in my avatar with this truck as well. Old trucks really are the ultimate toy - useful and cool.

    My dad used to work the hell out of the coupe. With the deep trunk he used it like a pickup. We tried pulling a stump in the front yard with it once by running a heavy nylon strap to the street, but it just smoked the tires. :) The grill is pushed in from him using it to push start a neighbor's car. Too bad the kid had the car in reverse when he let the clutch out... :eek:

    No pics hauling anything, but my Rambler wagon gets used! I custom made a receiver hitch for a reason too! I hauled a 4'x8' utility trailer full every time I moved -- from GA to MS to DE and finally to my final home in SC (USAF for 24 years). That was just since I had the thing from 2000-2007! I'm always getting funny looks while I stick something through the rear window at Lowe's or Home Depot... or just groceries.

    I have a truck too, 83 Jeep J-10. It does any heavy/messy hauling now. Didn't have a truck until 2006 -- the Rambler with my trailer was my truck! I'm putting my rusted out 83 J-10 together with a 74 model I was given. 83 has rusted out cab, bed is salvageable; 74 has rusted out bed from hauling fertilizer and feed on a farm but has a good cab and better short block. Not sure if I'm going to keep the 74 grille because it looks similar to my Rambler or get an early model "rhino" grille.

    I haul all the band equipment every weekend. (weight over 1000 pounds)

    I haul it in this one in the summer when it isn't supposed to rain

    And this one in the rain and snow.

    [​IMG]

    Both have also hauled alot of firewood, building supplies, gravel, manure, farm equipment, engines, body panels, scrap and I tow trailers with the green one a few times a year.

    I use my trucks as trucks and the beat up wood bed floors look as such!!!

    I have even rock crawled and 4 wheeled the green on a few occasions.

    Yep, my trailer queen has actually never even been licensed or even insured to drive on the road. I'm so lame.:rolleyes:


    And yes - you guessed it - that's my trailer queen in my avatar.:D
