That would work, for sure. My next door neighbor has a trailer that he says I can borrow at any time - maybe because I bought a spare for it when I used it to bring the '50 home. Anyway, I could fairly easily rig sideboards on it to contain a load of rock. It is, obviously since the '50 fit, bigger than the one in the pic and is pretty serious overkill. But a smaller one than pictured would be pretty handy, sort of an intermediate size.
Having said that, a new trailer is about as expensive as Rusty. But, the upkeep should be less, as would be the insurance and tag. And, I can easily move a small trailer with my garden tractor. Hmmm, better start watching for one.
MUAH HA HA HA! Look what I've done . Intermediate sized trailer would fit perfectly behind the shop...
What an evil laugh!
But, you've not been here recently. Here's the view from my coffee-sipping chair:
And here's a close-up. Yup, the Super Bee is sitting in a "car port" behind the shop, as are the '50, the boat trailer, garden tractor, etc. And, there's really not enough room for a trailer in there.
Yup, I've been gone too long. That looks great! Definitely excited about Dad's truck almost coming home, but, cannot wait to watch the Bee resto. What forum do we get to watch that one in??

Thanks. The car port cleaned things up dramatically. The neighbors had, rightly, been somewhat concerned about their view of the "stuff" behind the shop. We'd been talking about installing a privacy fence, but that didn't provide a protected place to put things like the Bee, which would free up a lot of space inside the shop. So, we went with the car port.
As for the Bee's transformation, it is actually behind the '50 in the pecking order. I've talked with John, my paint/body man, and we've agreed to do the '50 next. We are working up to the Bee as it needs to be done "right". So, hopefully we'll start on the '50 next year. But I'm not sure where the transformation for it nor the Bee will be logged. Will have to think about that. Suggestions?
Well, I'd love to see you on TV, so go the Graveyard Carz route haha! Especially if he was wrong on something, I know you'd call him on it, which would make great TV!!
But, Mopar Forums looks to be decently active, and you will recognize the forum ownership!
Gary, i know you already asked the low/high tranny hump question, but i wanted to make sure i order the right carpet, because i called BroncoGraveyard, and they suggested i order the 4x2 F250 model, and not the 4x4 one. Carpet is a lot cheaper with them, compared to LMC, and i already have some other stuff i want from their shop.
So here are some pictures of the hump, it's covered in Sika MultiSeal roof insulation, great stuff. I work in construction, and we use this to seal roofs, walls windows rails, just about anthing to do with water and moderate heat. I am thinking this is a great substitute for the expensive stuff Summit sells. I just want soundproofing and haeat protection, and it's a blast to install.
I believe my hump is different than your hump? Is this a low or high?

Time for an update on Rusty. As you probably know, he's going to be sold, and I'm in the process of getting him ready. Here's the list of things I have planned:
Fuel Pump: The fuel pump died a few weeks ago, so I had to replace it.
Tires & Wheels: I currently have the tires and wheels for Dad's truck on Rusty, so will put the big tires and saw blade wheels that came with Rusty back on.
AFR Meter: My AEM AFR meter is currently installed on Rusty, so I'll pull it off to put on Big Blue initially, and then Dad's truck when it gets going.
I got the fuel pump replaced and fired the truck up today. But then I noticed that the AFR meter stayed on 10:1 even when the engine was warm. So I checked and there wasn't any juice going to the choke's heater. But, the relay is still good that I have being pulled in by the stator, although the stator voltage no longer pulls it in. So, I'll have to rethink this.
I got the choke relay rewired. I tapped into the white/light blue-hash wire feeding the ignition module where the red X is below. That pulls the relay in any time the ignition is on, and the relay feeds 12v to the choke's heater. Took it for a test drive and it worked well.
And, I swapped tires and wheels, so Rusty now looks like he did when I got him, with the saw blade wheels and 31" tires. Pretty much like this, which was when he was headed out to bring Dad's truck home from the first bodyshop.
Now I have to remove the AFR meter, clean him up a bit, and put him on the market.
Gary, you could have stuck an early Chrysler (87 Omni/Horizon for one) choke switch in an oil pressure port and not even used a relay. That way it would only heat when the engine was running.
