That is one nice garage floor you have. I'm not half jealous. I'll check some different companies. This won't be used in a garage but in my compressor room (big compressors - over 1000 pounds each).
Thanks again for your input.

This may be a strange request on a Sevens forum but I am looking for a newer dump truck in the NJ down to SC area.
It would have to be gas and not diesel. Size would be like a Ford F350 single cab but make or color not important. Short dump bed - 8 to 9 ft. Must have a dump rear door and not a "landscape" style double barn door. V8 engine. Year around 2000 give or take a few years depending on price.
This will be driven to Miami for export to Bonaire so it has to be in reasonably good shape. Since shipping is by the cubic ft - again it must be a single cab with no additional length due to tool box etc.
No it is not to carry my Seven!!
Thanks
Bruce
Skip - I think Bonaire had a detector once. Probably broke and got tossed. Some roads are fixed up, others still bad. Diving is still great though.
After reading all the replies I'll stick with what I have - driving the speed limit. I have not had a ticket in 45 years - knock on wood now that said that!!!
Al - congratulations on your win and glad to see you again after almost 9 years! Lets make it a bit less next time.
I was at the Hellertown show Sunday and met the owner of the green 7 with claim shells whose car picture appeared in one of these threads. I gave him this website and hopefully he and friends may join us next year with 3 more 7's.
Bruce
We are back and dry from the actual drive. Not sure how everyone made it back home though???!!!
I met a great bunch of people and have been wanting to do a drive like this for a long time. Had one the best times of my life.
Thanks everyone.
Bruce
I'll be in the parking lot next to the church which is on the opposite side of the street from the Ship Inn and the creek.
Hope to see everyone there.
Bruce
Just a reminder that June 13 is still on at 10 am meeting at the Ship Inn Milford, NJ
I am leaving for the US on June 7th and will have limited access to a computer.
My cell phone only while there will be 908-329-0603.
Hope the weather is OK and to see a bunch of Sevens. 7 Sevens would be nice!
Bruce
Jack - nice to see you are going. I see you are quite a bit east and north. Do you drive you car to Milford? I assume you know the way but if you need any directions, please ask.
See everyone soon.
Bruce
So far it looks we have
Kyle
Steve
Boxologist
Mike
Me
If we can meet at the Ship Inn - Milford NJ at 10 am.
Lunch at the Inn after.
I hope we don't have a chance of rain.
June 20 or 21 rain date is Ok with me or even another drive!
Bruce
Steve - if you can join us that would be great. The Ship Inn is in Milford - about 20 minutes up the road from New Hope. Just come up the PA side on 32 or up the NJ side on Rt 29 to Frenchtown and then on to Milford, NJ. Don't mix this up with West Milford or Milford PA. They are quite a bit farther away.
Ship Inn is on the main street - Bridge Street.
Let me know if you need better directions. We hope to meet at 10 am. I see you are near Willow Grove. You could come up 611 also. I would guess it is about a 45 minute drive to Milford?? MapQuest says closer to an hour... Still think it could be done in less - on the gray side of legal.
Really hope to see you.
I made a highlighted map of the proposed trip. I have driven this before and it has some nice roads and scenery. Couple of places to stop for refreshments if necessary.
Now - I am not sure how the map thing works.

Apparently it works.
Bruce
The route is not that complicated and I am sure no one will get lost unless we have dozens of cars!!!!. We should be back by 12:30 latest if we leave on time.
l suggest we head over to PA. Over the hill to Rt 611. Either 611 all the way through Easton to Belvidere or a slightly longer and nicer road off 611 and back to 611. Then back down to Milford.I know some great roads.
Al explained how he highlighted his map online which I won't be able to do. What I will do is print up some maps, highlight them and hand them out. I can also explain the route here if anyone wants.
Bruce
If all the way to Rt 80 is too far we can cross at Belvidere and make our way to Bloomsbury where this is a great road over the mountain back to Milford.
"Lunch follows at Ship Inn? There is a community parking lot opposite the Ship Inn next to the Church. Thats where we should meet - plenty of room to park"
We can also park at my house after. About 1 minute form the Ship Inn and safer. But meeting at first at the lot mentioned above is best.
Rain date June 20?
