Cam,

Give me some more details on time(S). Sat or Sun? I may be able to help out one day. I will talk to Norm and see if he can come up one day as well. Anyone else want to road trip up?

Rob

I should be there Saturday morning. Breakfast anyone?

John about wore me out yesterday with that steel. The easy stuff should be all that is left, right? There are only 5 loaded sections of 16' tall modular shelving to move...

Can I drive the forklift again?

Yes one more trailer should be good so if someone can bring one,

As we load one or two trailers we can move a couple of sections of racking
and then repeat the process.

Thanks Guys

If Rob & Norm can bring the bender and tube up that would be great. I'm guessing we can get it from the Lance's shop to your house & mine without too much trouble. Norm - what do I owe you for the leftover 1 1/2" DOM?

Tim , John,

I was already thinking about getting the bender up to you this weekend. I will talk to Norm and see if we can get the steel up as well. I may have to pass on breakfast, 7am is a little early coming up from Richmond, especially if I have to pic norm and his trailer up.
Tim, I have bent two exhaust systems for both my cruiser and Norms 4runner. If you pick up some pipe you can bend your exhuast as well. I paid $20 for a 10 foot stick of aluminized 2".

Rob,

I was thinking the same thing on the steel. I'll have the trailer all hooked up from bringing the tractor to Williamsburg on Friday night. So I'll just park it and disconnect it? When do you want to load the steel? Early Sat Morning? We should get an early start then....


Tim,

I don't remember the length of the 1 1/2" DOM. I'm almost sure that it's somewhere around 18'. The price was $3.75 a foot plus tax. ~$71 bucks.

I'll bring the paperwork, and we can figure out the difference on everything.....

Cam,

do you think you will need the ramps on my trailer? If not I'm going to take them off to save Rob some $$$ in diesel.


I think I see a plan coming together.....

Okay,

just talked with Rob and it looks like he's coming over on Saturday morning to help load the steel onto the trailer. Then we are going to drop his truck off at his house and pick up the bender. Then we are going to be up to you guys hopefully by 8AM. Still need to know from CAM if the trailer ramps are needed. Also do we have a place to put the steel and the bender while we perform said labor?

John,Tim,

Do you still want the steel delivered if it's raining out? I guarantee that it will have a nice rust looking coat on if it is raining.......


John,

bing those rims please. It would make my life easier. Look what Santa brought me for Christmas.....




I think I'm going for a 'white' truck theme here....There is also a 85' solid axle EFI 4Runner sitting in the woods somewhere too......

If it's raining, leave the steel & bender. We will get it another time.

There is plenty of room to off load it while we are using the trailer.

No ramps needed.

You must have been good this year! Are those for parts, to drive, to wheel, or what?

(Couldn't see the pic from work or I would have commented earlier.)

Actually I'm planning on turning one into a daily driver/bone stock/parts getter. It's a real PITA driving the GMC to the store to get a gallon of milk. I'm sure CAM can relate. So one of the trucks has a really good AZ body. The other has a running engine. You do the math.

I think Rob already spoke with Lance about buying the 83' rolling tub after I remove the engine.......I wish I had the time to pull the engine before Saturday, otherwise I would bring it.....

This is what the stock 60 wheels are for.....
