My new record is 5! I picked up a screaming deal from the operator I bought my last pinball from. Two Galaxians, a Ms. Pac, a Cinematronics Danger Zone and a Leland Viper (same cabinets). How much did I pay for these? Well, lets just say it wasnt more than the cost of the gas it took to drive the 10 miles there and 10 miles back. ;)

Mine can take 8 uprights, although it has an 8' flatbed on it.

The flatbed makes all the difference in the world. The wheel wells on the F-150 I use have caused a lot of problems making things fit.

So does a Toolbox in the back of the truck bed. On my f-150 my toolbox has caused more problems than anything. However, I've fit 5 machines in my bed even with the toolbox. So without it I could probably get another machine or two.

Cool, it looks like a couple of Johnny 5's hitched a ride as well. ;)

Moderately obscure reference I know.
 
depends on the size of the cabinets. I have had 6 cabs on my truck before. 6 ft bed with a liftgate(2 on the liftgate). I think I once came back from LA auction with 8, but 2 of them were gremlin wall games.
 
I can haul a few, but if more than that, I hook onto my enclosed trailer. I've had 18 in there with room to spare, plus makes it easier to load and unload.
 
The truck has a 16 foot bed and could haul dozens - hundreds if they were mashed some. No challenge there.


Here's a better question.......

How many games can you fit in your car?

One upright or two CT's. It's a 92 full size Blazer. The plus side is that the weather doesnt matter since it's fully contained. Haven't tried multiple cabarets.
 
I could probably get those games into my truck, however, with the 4 banger in it, I would not be going very fast.

I did once get an Atari Football and two pinball machines into a Dodge Durango, a tight fit but it worked fine.

You are not even taking up the tailgate. You can get at least 2 more on there!

NeoGeo, Joust cocktail, Spectar, Kickman and SPace Panic. Plus toolbox, spare tiedowns and dolly. And still room for one more in front of the Spectar :D.

Yeah we had put it on the tailgate it wouldn't stay by itself because only the back two feet of the cab were on the tailgate, grizz held it there long enough for me to get a couple straps around it.
 
You guys are nuts. I'm thinking "yeah..I can get two in the bed of my F-150" Your rocking a friggin Ranger with a shit ton of cabs. I'd like to see what you can do with a full size truck and 8 foot bed.
 
I'm working on a Danger Zone today, already rebuilt the monitor. Works great except won't track left or right.

I was there and I was going to post this. THREE HIGH!!
I didn't buy anything from that guy though.

Depends on what cabs they are. But since I have a toolbox and a liftgate I think anything more than about 4 isn't going to happen. And it's really more like 3 URs and 1 mini.
