WOW Tom, I haven't looked that good in years !!!!!
It looks like 2001, at Indy, when i had just picked up me new trailer from T & E. In 2004 I took it back there and finished it out with the complete interior. Damn, I love that thing, and I've continued to put more 'bells and whistles' into it since then. FYI, the gen has low hours, LOL. (Burger)

ok here is what a 18 year old kid does when getting out of school, building his own race car and needing a tow rig, not having a "Silver spoon" to fall back on to buy a rig more then my current house, like some new kids coming into racing. I bought a 3/4 ton chevy pickup from Larry Buckingham (btw, Ive bought just about every car I've ever owned off of him) at "Clucker Jungle" at Grahams Chevrolet. Took the rusted up pickup bed off of it and built a hauler bed for it. Then a few years later, cut the truck's frame rails behind the cab, added another drive shaft and stretched it to ad a sleeper. The truck got 20 miles to a gallon and if anybody remembers me back then I did a lot of traveling with this rig. I used it from 1979 to 1986.

"Too short a trailer? Naw, too long a wheel base... my guys can move that axle housing forward in a jiffy. Heck, it might even hook better so we can loose that 200lb lead-filled bumper at the same time!" ![]() A couple of my favorites of the late 1970's early '80's Avery's hauler, built from an air-cooled VW single cab, unconventionally raised into the unload position with a single hydraulic ram... pretty innovative in my book!
