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. It made us some extra money.
We usually just put car/pickup tires on the wagons. My buddy had just mounted a car tire on a 14 inch rim. I had an old manual tire changer. HE was lifting the tire off the changer when the bottom side wall blew out on the tire. So he was holding the tire waist high when it blew. Lucky he had the bottom bead down. All it did was give him a rush of air on his private parts. LMAO HE told me he was almost afraid to look and see if any serious "damage" was done. LOL Well it did make him hard of hearing for while too.
He would not pump up any more tires after that. He would mount them and then make me fill them with air. LOL.
