Truckin'

[deguspice]

Since I bought my shiny new pickup truck at the end of December, I've:

• Hooked up the trailer seven times to haul cars (only one car was mine)
  
• Hauled furniture three times
  
• Filled up the back with boxes and stuff from my parents' house, several times.
  
• Hauled a bunch of engine parts for my father (three engines, three engine blocks, one gear box, two diffs, three crank shafts, ...).
  
• Hauled two sheets of plywood (with the tail gate down, the bed is exactly 8' long).
  
• Hauled animal feed (50 lb bags)
  
• Hauled 30 gallons of aviation fuel (100LL)
  
• ...

Heck, you've hauled more stuff in six months than most pickup-truck poseurs do in their lifetimes :)

I may actually hit you up for a favor at some point; I may need to haul something too tall for my van to handle...

A little over four months. But who's counting? :)

That might be difficult.  I have a cap on the back of the truck.  Nice for keeping things dry and inside the truck, but tough for hauling anything taller than 39".

Ah, but is the truck still shiny?

I also bought a larger vehicle this past winter, but no one's asked me to haul stuff for them yet (an advantage of being a hundred miles away from all my friends).

You're one of the few people I know who actually needs a pick-up truck...
