My BABY!!!!

My baby is dead after 2 years of opening her she has finally had it. Wrecked it into two trees after hydroplaning. Damaged the left side of the bed, rear ends, both leaf springs, and she won't crank any more.

I was just typing a reply that suggested maybe you could do that. Or you could build a flatbed.

I was going to make a flatbed im going to wait a bit after I get it running and see what happens from there cause I can get a paint job for free to make it look brand new.

Truggy = half truck, half buggy. or something that started out as a truck and ended up a buggy. its a way of making lemonade out of lemons....
