First I will start of by saying pics will be posted later.
So today started out at 0345 today with Me in my deuce and dad following in his pickup (he ain't so dumb). started out and all went fine except rain (I can STILL hear the wipers) I had an appointment for 1300, but made it out there at 1030.
Andrew asked me which one I am towing and which was going in the bed. Both trailers were looked over for me and I was told both would do good. Well I said throw the green one in the bed and the camo one on the hook. I have to give credit to Andrew he lifted the trailer and set it down in place on the pintle hook. I decided to tow the camo since it had the side and front racks in it.
As Andrew was moving the trailers, I started to look at the data plates. Nothing real noticeable except the only date I could locate was 2006 from the refurbishment. But then something stuck out on the camo one. It had 558 SC (Signal Company). To most of you that probably means nothing but to me it tells me someone or something wanted me to have those trailers. The reason being.....the trailer is from the 558 Sig....AND so is my deuce. so now I have a complete set, and even the paint match. The truck I bought from Andy Cox back in Sept of 2009, and now I reunited it with its trailer.
But we get everything chained down, the towed trailer hooked up when we found a problem that would make the trailer non-towable. when I had the trailer looked at they missed something I did until was time. the pins for the electrics were bent to heck. So we had to make an on the spot correction, took the connector off the trailer in the bed and hooked it up. That was a learning experience. Got it hooked up and checked the lights, new problem......hit the left signal on the truck the right one on the trailer comes on and vice versa. Head out to get off their lot (already been there for a little over an hour, closer to an hour and a half). hit the first rest stop and play with the connections to get home.
The day started at 0345 and ended at 1930.
