I need to pick up some rather expensive 4x8 sheets and I need something to carry them in, the C70 just will not do it :roll: The sheets have to lay flat, I cannot afford to damage them

The catch is that the store is only open 8am-5pm Monday through Friday, so this kind of eliminates help from the common working man (or woman)

Right now my first option is to rent a van from Budget or a pick-up from Rona, but I thought I would toss this to the group to see.

You can borrow my heap if you like. Probably going to cost you more in gas than for renting a local truck, though.

4x8 sheets will fit flat on the floor between the wheel wells and the rear door will close?

Super cool. My neighbor has a genuine 1940s teardrop trailer built in Oregon locally.
His was part metal and part wood and had a fair bit of rot and rust to go with each, but I had never seen one in person before that.

In James dream land I'd have a corvair (or '55 Nomad if I wanted it not to break) wagon and a teardrop. Then again, I love wagons in a strange and sick way.

I was right, that would look sick behind a PV...or a 122? Glad to see this project is coming along.
