What are the bed dimensions?

Thanks!

Yep, a GL acquisition. Depending on your location/luck, you can get one for as little as $250. The thing needed nothing - full tread tires, fresh grease oozing from the bearings, fully functional everything, etc. W/ the surge brakes, it tows like its not even there. I highly reccomend one for all your hauling needs!

I'm using a solid-shanked 14 hole pintle hitch assembly w/ a reinforced back plate I got from etrailer. Working very well.


I haul it w/ my modded Isuzu Uber-Trooper (202k miles and still hauling strong).

Visited Dad today. At 83 he still heats his house with wood in the winter and prefers locust from the thickets on the old homestead farm. Somewhere along the line he inherited an old Plymouth Powerwagon or some such hemi powered, highly altered vehicle. Latest alteration, a stool on a rope he can use to get in and out. He climbs in, pulls up the stool, and is ready to throw it out when he gets to his next cutting site.

Most of the truck is seriously suffering from rust corrosion, but the floor of the back has been reinforced with an diamond plate. Doesn't hold as much as some of the big rigs shown on this thread, but Dad only cuts a tank of gas at a time, then rests for a while. Here is his collection of some real old equipment that ride in the back:

And here he is resting after bucking this old locust tree he had pulled out of the thicket with his mudder. I helped load this load to haul back to the lean-to where the splitter and the next two years of firewood already is stacked:

It appears to be a late 70's Powerwagon/Ramcharger. It also has a fully removable top (from windshield back) and a factory roll bar. Does that one have 2 wheel drive LOW? I had one that was a military version (bought from conservation dept) that was a 440 with 2 hi/4hi - 2 low/4 low. Darndest transfer case I ever saw. It would easily run 40 mph in low gear (top out around 50). My understanding was that they were mil-spec'd to pull big guns.

Cool for sure and tough as heck in the swamp.

here's my craftsman gt-18 (three speed with a high/low) hauling half a load on my m416 trailer. the gt-18 also hauls a full load , up my pretty steep driveway, without much problem:
