In the 1980s just about any kind of flat bed wagon would sell around here. So a friend and I would buy just about any kind of running gear and put a flat bed on it. We would paint the gear. A local guy would saw us a 14-16 foot oak wagon bed complete with sills for $100. We maybe would buy a "light" gear for $250. Put a bed on it and make a $100 profit over our work.

He would not pump up any more tires after that. He would mount them and then make me fill them with air. LOL.
