How to Make a Truck Squat

United States
July 16, 2016 6:27pm CST
First you back the truck up to said pile of junk and debris. Load the debris onto truck. Hear the truck moan as more is tossed on top. Beware the grumpy man as he says to stay clear and don't watch. Truck is now squatting.

Your husband certainly makes his truck work hard.

A few years back he hauled fire wood. That is when the truck took a beating.

Hopefully the truck won't hit a big bump while it is "squatting" down the road!

He was beat a t the end of the day. I was too. He did all the heavy lifting by himself. I don't know where he finds the strength.

Our faithful vehicles certainly suffer when we are moving or getting ready to move.

Well, they just don't make trucks like they used to. With its designer wheels and extended cab that is more a pleasure vehicle than a working truck. I had one that I could stack lumber and roofing shingles on higher than the cab and it wouldn't even breath hard let alone squat. It was a 67 chevy stepside. Now that wasa working man's truck.

@savak03 he will probably find one and fall way short of the asking price.

When my husband sees someone driving a Truck like it was made of glass he gets bent out of shape and tells out that he would show them what a Truck is made for!

The bed of that truck looks a bit bent in the middle will it bounce back?

@Carmelanirel2 We really had our work cut out for us. He of course is the muscle and did most of the heavy lifting.

It must have felt good to get rid of all that stuff. I don't think the truck liked it, though.

You won't find me tailgating this truck in the highway. Maybe the movers should have stuck the bird house in the middle of the pile.
