This 75 frame should be 37" wide but the 48 should be 34" wide and most dually axles are setup for a 34" frame. The F250 frame looks stronger than the 48 but its easy enough to box in and reinforce these frames.

Once the fence is moved it will be 12' deeper, there will be a regular walk through gate and a 11' wide split swing gate. It's nice having 3 spring loaded gate wheels, plus I just picked up 12 24 x 30 sidewalk stones to use in the gate area.

Keep me posted what you find out about using the 75 frame, I think that in the end it maybe harder to do than using the 48 frame.

I'm thinking the same way but when I look at the 48 frame it looks so thin on the rails its hard to believe it's a M68 that's good for 8600 pounds.

It`s another hot one here, I`m really thankful for the Bobcat AC.
The old truck frames did do the job Perry even tho they look a bit on the weak side. Good luck at the auction tonight, hope the crowd is sparse and poor.
Hello Steve, how`s your day going?
How are you holding up in this heat Grant?
Is your sun burn a bit better today John?

If I was in the Sun it would've been a bit of a hot one but I've been in the shade all day so it was just right. There's a 3 tier water feature at the auction tonight, it may be a fountain so the pump system that I have might finally get used. Would be nice to have a meter high bird bath and fountain in the front yard, the Jones's can try to keep up with me. Lol Was going to take James to the auction seeing as its his place that I'm working on but its been 3 hours since he texted that he'll be here in a few minutes, he's at Ron's bike shop getting his motor cycle fixed and is only 10 minutes away . Very few people in Calgary know how to tell time, they snooze they lose and 3 guesses who pockets the spoils.

Slim pickings here tonight but it could be a good show for myself as there's a few things that normally would be too expensive for me to actually bid on with the intention of actually buying the items.
