14' trailers with Electric
brakes, one is enclosed, and one is a dumping trailer. Im thinking about
having a welding buddy of mine make something on the dumping trailer so
they can be stacked. And I can pull them home in one trip. I just talked
to the trailer manufacturer and he said that the sides would indeed hold
the weight of a Spridget no problems.
My only real problem is getting the cap UP there :-)
Has any one of you all ever attempted this? Stacking 2 spridgets?
Any one have any other Brilliant ideas?
.
I'm glad you asked that question, being brilliant and all..at least I've
never lost my balls in a carburetor...yet.
How about you go a few hours early, strip the 71 and stack the parts in the
dump trailer around the bugeye, then slide the tub of the 71 on the back of
the trailer. The Frogeye should only be about 9 feet something long, less if
you pull the bonnet, and the tub may stick out a foot or two off the rear, but
chain everything up nicely and come on home. You are pulling it with a
pick up, no? The bonnets, and 71 front clip can go in the PU bed.
Orrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, take a bunch of old carpet scraps for padding and
put them in the trailer on their sides. I'd pull the wheels and engines and
trans first, but they should fit this way.
Take lots of straps, ropes, chains and come alongs, and some bribery money
for help in loading.

were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were
selfishly trying to keep it for themselves._ John Wayne_
