Welcome. There seem to be quite a few of us in NC, just holler if you need anything. I've heard of Locust, but whereabouts is it?

Since railroad ties are sinking, and looking at the pictures again, the mud would swallow gravel, couldn't you combine the two? Such as, gravel on top of RR ties? I think the big bridge ties would work better if you can find them, since they are 12ish feet long.

You sir, win the award for most stuck. :not worthy:

Numbers- Any idea how long that trailer is? Looks to be about 25 ft or so. Thanks.

:popcorn: Good luck, we have faith in you.

PJ trailers are generally considered the best, but expensive. A company out of NC called Kraftsman builds a good quality trailer, they made the one I have and I love it. It's supposedly owned by the brother of the guy who owns Kaufman trailers (i've heard good and bad things about Kaufman)...

I'd love to have one of those trucks. The boats look cool too. And come to think of it, one of the minature containers would be kinda handy...[thumbzup]

Welcome. My real home is in Southport, so i'm not far from little river at all. Good luck on finding a truck, I too am looking right now.

Go for it. I agree that it could be a very useful thing to have. And besides, if you want to do it, that's really all the reason you need.2cents

I've too had a guy tell me he'd rather let a truck "sit and rot to the ground" before he would let it go for less than what he paid for it. And he overpaid by ALOT. That was a 52 (?) GMC gasser. I also looked at a 46 Ford/Seagrave fire truck in SC. The guy was all about finding someone to...

If only I was closer :cry:

If you run into anything in the High point/Greensboro/Winston area of NC that you need help with let me know. I'm free quite a bit, so there's a good chance I could help if needed. Be safe.

I'm glad to see that people still care about old fire trucks enough to restore them. I've tried to get a 1954 Ford/WardLafrance and a 1946 Ford/Seagrave, but one went for more than I could afford and the other the guy wanted WAY too much for what it was. One day. Again, thank you for caring.

Is there any way you could recess them into the front bumper? I think it would look cool, and they'd be pretty well protected. If you find a good location, look into Hella 500 series lights. They're cheap for what they are, and are BRIGHT!

In NC: 1) Weighted tags DO NOT automatically mean the truck is commerical. My F350 has 20k weighted tags on it, it's not commercial. 2) That being said, 26000 is the cutoff as far as weight is concerned. One pound over that and you'll need a CDL, REGARDLESS of if it's commercial or not...

Optima 34/78 Red top.

there was an article in i a magazine a few months back. I think the name was 4x4 garage. There was a good bit of work required, but nothing seemed too terribly hard.

Good looking truck. Let me know if you ever need help with it, i'm only 10 mins. from Tville.

I've got a class that day, otherwise I would be there. Some other time maybe??

I'm not sure if I can make it or not, i'll try my hardest. If I do, i'll be in a crew cab 4x4, so if anyone wants to go but doesn't want to/can't drive, they're welcome to ride with me. I may even get adventerous and try some trails:-D Not trying to steal GoHot's thunder, but should the need...
