After the series of discussions about trucks I thought it would be fun to post pictures of our trucks.

My truck big trailer:

I have my pickup with a cargo rack that goes in the hitch receiver when necessary. I most certainly would not be able to get one of those big trucks in where some of my yards are and have been. Back when I was planning to become a commercial beekeeper, that last rig was on my list.

Forgot to mention, my wife's blue Toyota Carolla seen in the background of one of my pics has hauled a trailer load of bee equipment 2200 miles across the country on two occasions, and a trunk full on another occasion. My truck has yet to come close to that cumulative hauling experience.

That boom on the old F350 was made in the mid 70s by John Fruetel in Oregon. Should be lots of them around still....
Mike is right, there are a lot of these in use still and they can be found laying around as well.
They were made just a few miles from here, but no more.

I will take a couple of pictures of a friend's and post but it won't be for a week or so.
