<VV> VERY HANDY RAMPSIDE (my ramblins)

[N2VZD at aol.com]

i have hauled a thousand pounds of fishing lead at a time , by myself ,  
with a hand cart and a rampy.
i also hauled 3  50 gallon drums of gas at a time for my boat. rolled  the 
drums to the dock , and siphoned gas to the boat with a gas hose and  nozzle.
the rampy rides very soft (tires?)  when loaded that heavy. it is  still 
very solid , no signs of "weakness" on the roads . I drive it almost every  
day. it goes to casual shows nearby without much cleanup ( my shoulders do not 
 like pushing a rag any more ).People still like to look it over and 
comment  about it.
as i understand it , my rampy , and 3 others were sold at the nationals in  
Seattle by a retiring plumber. i use it hard , but do not abuse it.
there is a very rough Loadside at a local U PULL IT yard in East  Syracuse 
NY .
i am presently rebuilding a very nice loadside from the west coast for a  
friend here.
but i love the rampy concept.  there is an article in the may 1984  
communique about Bob Marlow's  (adventures?) ride home with it , before i  
purchased it shortly after.
