Paul, I have kept a photo log of the work done on this truck since I bought it almost 18 months ago. You can see it all here

Thanks Garry, no regrets on buying the trailer. As for the truck, I am hoping (probably against odds) that I can have the sides finished in time for the GSM F100. I decided to do them in stages so if I don't get them all done, I'll have some on it.

I hauled mine 300 miles home behind the 150, which pulled pretty good and didn't squat much. I can't remember what the trailer was rated.

KK. Thats a nice looking truck! Both of them!

So you pulled that f5 f6? With an f150?
Amazing.. I'm not currently in the market for a new truck but when I am ready to retire the 05 dodge 2500 Cummins I'm thinking F150.
what are the specs on your f150?

Btw my triple axle trailer is still working great, I've hauled dozens of f6 trucks and many smaller loads over the last 6 years and am still on the same 6 tires I put on when I got it. They are showing thier age now but wow that trailer has served me well.

The f150 is all stock with the 5.0 and the truck on the trailer is a f6 with an eaton 2 speed and f7 suspension.

Standard Duty Car Trailers for Sale by Appalachian Trailers

I have a light weight version, (5 inch channel). They are very well built, heavy duty from end to end. Wiring runs inside the channel and the lights are protected. I doubt you can find better and their prices are very competitive.
