New truck for etk

[M4wdFab]

also this place says they are a CM truck bed distributor down in Avoca, they will be the best and most expensive probably, but worth a call

Custom truck creations is the buddy of Erik's in east roch I think, there's also unicell on brighton-henritte tl Rd, and pretty sure thru way spring has them

id say if you can get an aluminum or steel bed installed for 4K or less your doing alright

[mr.mindless]

I thought they used to be 3500 or so cash n carry. 4k installed would be a steal?

You did buy one more recently than… oh wait I never have haha

3 years or so ago when I bought my cm truck bed i paid 2450 and got the install kit and total came to 2800 something

[M4wdFab]

thats not horible at all for a quality bed, was that local or did you have to go states away to pickup?


my Cadet bed was like 4500 installed dealer price (outsourced to a PA install place, probably included a little mark up for dealer)

[Nick]

That was picked up in Albany. There was a cm dealer in bath or somewhere around there that was even cheaper but he didn't have the bed I wanted in stock

This truck has had this annoying rattle since I bought it.  After traveling down 50 miles of dirt road this weekend, I noticed it doesn't rattle while braking.  It's the rear passenger brake caliper.  Slider bolts are tight, but caliper is loose.  I can't imagine how that's possible.  Slider bolts are worn?  I need to take it apart.

Sound like need sliding boots/bushings, possibly clips. A hardware kit will replace them both.

Not really sure what the problem was but a new caliper fixed it haha.  I think one of the pistons may have been stuck or not moving the same distance as the other.  Hard to determine solo, so after a little debate, I threw parts at it.

drove by the trailer place on way to attica, they have about 3 trailers in stock on their lot but have like 3 stacks 6 tall of aluminum flatbeds.  i think the brand was BNY?

wonder if the price is why they are sitting there

[mr.mindless]

Their stock was so low last time I went to Attica I was wondering if they’d closed.

probably can't keep anything on the lot.. the dealer I bought our horse trailer from in Ohio, can't keep anything in stock.. anything coming from the manufacturers has been ordered and already sold and any trade-ins sell in just a few days

[mr.mindless]

New orders for what Erik and Cora were looking for were about a year out.

I've email (via "contact us for quote") 7 distributors almost two weeks ago.  Not one reply.  I guess I have to get on the phone.  Been so F'ing busy lately.
