Wow... $500 for the camino... thats crazy. Yea you are right there are lots of junk out there selling for at least 4x that amount and you would be getting less. And $200 for the Trans is awesome. He would have been an idiot to pass that up.

I had a buddy who was rebuilding a 72 Chevelle when he passed away. The car was about 70% complete when he passed. In his will he had left the car to his daughter... she had no interest in the car so she ended up selling it for $1000.00 as it was including the rest of the parts that weren't installed yet. When I found out I just about had a heart attack. She said she wanted money for clothes so she thought it was a good deal for her. The guy that got it was probably laughing the whole time. I know my buddy had spent at 40k in it when he passed.

I wouldn't call them feather weight tows, just LEGAL loads. I'm impressed with the things you have hauled, but I will say I am a lil leery about your legal weight limits. Some of those triple axle loads look way over your GVWR.

my white truck has a load cap at 16k. The dozer was for believing a guy saying the machine plus trailer only weighed 15k. where i live legal limit is 26k total weight

May be legal weight in the state but it's over the legal and safe limit of your truck.

Glad nobody was injured by you towing way over the trucks limits.

Just hauled this to the FL panhandle for my buddy. Only casualty on this trip was a busted rear running lamp assembly on the trailer.

 

Last trip to FL resulted in having to spend 10 hours welding the trailer back together again, mostly due to the short trip through MA, CT, NY, and NJ, brake wiring replacement, bearing replacement, and brake assembly replacement. No problems with the truck, surprisingly. Used 1 quart over 2800 miles total.

Flat bed for car, tractor... and camper for fun. The 6.2 Sierra is an awesome tow vehicle.
