Professor Brap land of junk thread.

I hate to say it but you're wrong. The key is to lower your truck to the point that the tailgate is really no higher than your trailer.

Truck beds still can't take a mattress without it being tippy same with sheets of drywall and plywood. 35mpg life is also nice.

You're buying the wrong truck if it can't take a sheet of plywood or drywall. 

In reply to EvanB (Forum Supporter) :

Flat is the key word, truck beds don't take my mower or big mattress. All the trucks I have owned and are shopping will take board flat, but trailer is so much easier to load and unload why bother. I can make a argument for both.

I want a truck also. I have a trailer.

A truck is like a cell phone for pictures, I have a nice SLR camera, but if I had the truck it works for those unexpected shots.

I hope that makes sense.... should I worry that it does in my head?

We have been 4ish years without one, I get along fine, if the car isn't tow dolly Worthy I take old mans box van and trailer. I know for a fact if I bought one it would not get driven very often. 

It took me years, even decades, of truck ownership to determine how seldom I do "truck stuff".

Old man bought it when when a local machine shop shut down, I get the privilege of using it for the cost of a meal. 

Got a seat grinding Machine also ;)

Buzz boxing sensors and small parts to clean/paint them.

Front cut for glh fell through, I am scrambling for find a plan C currently. 

Anyone have a 84-86 Turbo k or L body with ac they wanna sell cheap. 

Made out like a bandit last night. 

Yes you did. 

Fighting continual wiring issues with the trailer, I'm rewiring tonight. 

I have considered going from the 4 prong plug to a 7 prong plug because they are built better. Cast housing etc.

Then follow with serious heavy duty wiring to the rest. 

I have fought wiring issues too.

The issue is the wiring on the trailer, not plugs. The ground wire got rot inside the wire last fall, and the new fun is all the wiring on right side has rot inside it. Couldn't find any damage on the wire either. 

Gonna rewire and use nice connectors on lights and and where it splits underneath trailer, and give that a go. 

Update: running light wires from a foot from connector, and all the way to the circuit board on the lights where green.
