Response: no just estimate hoping to have specs by next weekend (1/26/2008)
Question: Are you looking for a bid to include both vehicles. Thanks "dave" DP Tow (1/30/2008)
Response: yes actually i have a 1925 gardner so three vechickes but that might be pushing it , so yes at least 2 trucks.right now im waiting on getting the exact specs on all so that is what is holding me up but most landoll trailers should hold both trucks , no problem (1/30/2008)
Question: I can do both for $2000 as long as they are 24' each and the weight is 12000lbs for both let me know thanks. (2/12/2008)
Response: the fox is 12000 lbs and the lafrance is aprox 10000 a landoll would work great (2/15/2008)
Question: Please give specs for all three vehicles, I will bid on it then. Ginger (5/14/2008)
Response: its just the two trucks aprox 10 tons on both.24 feet and 18 feet. 6-7 ft wide (5/15/2008)
Response: Would you consider putting these on a step deck with ramps? I could look for one with a winch and ramps. If not then maybe you could set up a roll off truck, the kind that picks up cars that don't run. Its kind of hard to find a step deck with a winch, I do know of one company but it would be a guess if they would be in your area at the time. There are also expandable lowboys also, they run a little bit more than usual but would be a good answer to getting them both there at the same time. Let me know what you think. Ginger (5/15/2008)
Response: Ginger I have had both on a landoll before and that worked great.if you can find one, im interested.I need solid dates once i make a desion as the guy i deal with is extremly busy. thanks lonnie (5/16/2008)
