Great looking trailer. I hope that fact made it worth it for you.

That IS a very nice trailer, does it have surge brakes?
I am glad you survived the trip, I rode up to OKC to get a M105 and look at Pinky and then drove Pinky back, all in one day (800mi round trip), THAT is on my list of things never to do again!
You didn't know that GM went all metric in the early 80's? (My 1982 S-10 was all metric), learning that bit of info is even better than the trailer for it will really save your ass someday when you are in a real bind and not 500yd from a Autokrap.

Glad you made it!
and it IS better to have a friend along to share in the expieriance.
I dont know how many times Lane talked me out of shooting the M819 and sticking my thumb out! It has been my problem child.

Good story. You should write a book. I know you were frustrated, but it seemed to me you had some good luck the entire way. Breaking down within a half mile of a parts store. FINDING some parts that actually fit, fixing it and getting home. Nice story though! and nice trailer too.

Great looking trailer, and thanks for the story. Reading your reflection of your recovery helps me realize that I'm not the only one that stuff like that happens to.

rite at that point in time, i was feeling that way.
400 miles from home with a 30,000 pound truck misbehaving, 100 degrees temp and going on the 3rd day of no sleep.
