The upgrade continues.

Now it's a proper single 20-foot container on a 40-foot chassis.

Thanks, Emil. We might be able to do some trucking later this year, now while you live in the US.

New additions to the fleet are looking sharp.

I must have missed the Pete-rod with skull shifter.

Thanks, Sir. The Pete rod belongs to a very creative friend. He has a bunch of cool stuff; Some can be seen on the videos from Cabin Fever.

Bo moves into general haulage...

10 mins later...

"How many containers can I fit on one truck?" :D:D

will look good towing the B Double! May need a H dolly to be as maneuverable as the beam haulers though!

Thanks, Emil. I'm trying.:lol: NRS91 :lol: I'm making wide turns into small. The time in the lab continues. I forgot to order some King-Pins!!! How could I forget such important detail?

[IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/...cf769b8e_b.jpgIMG_6626 by Bo Wallen, on Flickr[/IMG]

Lucky me, I had some Hinge-Pins for interior doors laying around. They have the exact measurements and need to be drilled countersunk, and cut to length.
10 minutes massaging, and the day is looking much better.

NRS91, Thanks. The pins only cost 98¢. So that will be a run to the hardware store Monday morning. I use to get morning coffee across the street at the Geezer Club before Covid Times. More trailers in the pipeline.
