I have a Sword East stepdeck, it was the prototype and to my understanding only 1 of 2 in the world. I had one of those Tonkin stepdecks too and chopped it up a long time back-stupid move!

Sure be nice if they would restart that step deck trailer idea again. Now that WSI is involved in the mix it maybe somewhat of an idea. But we all can wish I guess.

I did have it there this past year! Not many inquired about it which took me by surprise.

That looks killer. Great loads too. I'll be looking like everyone else for one of those stepdecks. CAW

Yeah, that's pretty nice looking. I had a Conrad step deck years back but unfortunately sold it. They are also relatively hard to find these days. Thanks for the pic!

I remember the Sword stepdecks, those are nice. I have a couple of Conrads, and a Tonin with my Catom fleet.

Ken: You still talking about those Nelson trailers? As for the Conrad versions, they have no detail. I have one and keep it boxed. I switched it with the Keen COE. These Tonkins are killer looking. Imagine An East stepdeck.

Quinella maybe the axle closest to fifth wheel is a lift axle, I think that has been a problem in the past for you on some other trailer you had. Just saying.
RI Red (which is a rooster not a chicken) putz


I cannot believe you went through elementary school thinking a Rhode Island Red is just a Rooster. The rooster is the male, the hen is the female. When they mate, they have little biddies. But all of them all of them are Rhode Island Reds, which is a breed of chickens. And NO Steve a rooster cannot lay an egg, you dork.

Old McDonald, and I mean old I’ll send you a picture of a real Rhode Island bird.
By the way QuNella who ever said I went to elementary school, I went straight from the sand box to Pre Med at Johns Hopkins, and I remember them telling us that male chickens could lay eggs. It was developed by a bald guy somewhere in NC in the back of a Freightliner cab over on a back road, they also said that there were some very scared sheep running from the truck.
