    Saw an awesome car hauler conversion yesterday!

    So I was on my way to pickup my daughter and I saw this truck up in front of me in traffic, he pulled into the Burger King, and since I was driving I couldn't take a pic.. but what it was- A retired 24 or 26 foot Uhaul truck with the box gone, they created a dovetail bed on the back of the truck and had flip up ramps. I thought- what a brilliant idea! Reason being is that Uhaul- one of their huge "selling points" when offering trucks to rent for moving is that they have "the lowest decks in the industry" Most Penske or other trucks are built to back up to docks.. they are really high up. Uhauls are designed to be lower for easier movement in and out of your furniture.

    REALLY wish I could have snapped a picture- but honestly what a brilliant idea! Got me thinking.. really thinking. You wouldn't have to insure it as a "roll back", don't need a CDL to drive it legally. Got me itching on the thought of hunting and converting an old Uhaul truck to a "Car Hauler!!"

    I'm so into scrapping.. When my Steel Toe Boots Wear out, I cut the Steel out of them and recycle the Toe!
