Darryl&Rita Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 Link works fine, here. Google Docs is a clunky site to share from, but a couple clicks works. I'm going to have to save that video for the next time somebody asks how we get the car on the deck. The only time I've seen a car on a forklift has been at the wreckers'. Looks like it fits pretty well. The bed is looking good.
