Is the loader custom built or was it a factory option? ------------- When someone tells you Nothings Impossible, Tell them to slam a revolving door |

Steve, I got home about 8pm and fortunately no problems especially since I had no trailer brakes, only truck brakes but they didn't work well either. Got new brakes on the truck today and got the trailer brakes working too for next weekends show. Was great to see you again and to meet your brother. Had a great time while at the show. Thank you for all your help also Lad and Laddy too. So nice to have good friends at these AC shows.
