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.

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....
