Bought something new!
Well on Thursday I bought a flatdeck trailer. 16 ft car hauler. With Dove tails. I got a $5000 trailer for $3200. Clear out of some old units they have. I just compared a price from a dealer in P.A. who was selling a similar trailer w/o dovetails for 2900. Flaman would not come below 4000 and northtown came down to 3800. Fast toys would not budge. SKL gave me the best deal. I pick it up tomorrow.
To make it better. I stopped in at Priness Auot and got me a 10,000 lb winch for 200 off the reg. price. They were also having a sale on these and they were going fast. I got the 3rd last one. So I will be mounting this on the trailer. My shoulder does not take the hand balming vehicle very good anymore with this arthritis.
Now next year I have to get my 78 running to pull this beast.

Nice deal on the trailer Glen!
A few years ago we bought an 18 foot with beavertails for 3 grand cash, from the big tex dealer in PA.
How much was the winch in total? That is a GREAT addition to your trailer!

That sounds like a great deal, I have been looking at trailers also but haven't found the one I llike for the price i want to pay. That winch will be awsome. I was in PA yesterday and just about everything was on sale for at least 25% off and all I bought was a package of snap rings.

Got the winch for 499.00 Regular 699.00 I been wanting a new flatdeck for years. My old 12footer was 30 years old. from 1979. It needs TLC, but if I get at it with a new deck, wiring and fix the brakes and paint she would still last a numbe rof years. But is too small for what I want.

Nice sounding deal, how much is the trailior rated for? Even if it isn't rated for 10G it is still nice to be overkill and have a lil extra pulling power in a winch good pickup on that too.
If I remeber right me and dad each paid 3500 for our trailior, 7000 in total. (from North Battleford dealer)

Axle rating of 7000 lbs. I just seen too many guys come and load rolling cars with 2000 lb winches and they fail. I wanted a strong enough winch that can even pull non rolling cars onto the trailer.
I would use skids to load on or rollers from old wringer washer machines.
