tonye66 Posted June 5, 2015 Share Posted June 5, 2015 LookinLooks great. One thing that would really make that trailer pop is a set of woodgrain decals from Mr Jerry Reeter at modeltruckin.com. Really makes that deck look nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kilrathy10 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Good idea with the Italeri tires and aftermarket rims.....Makes it look beefier.....I like it.....I need a couple of these things in the stash.....Great job.....And those wood decals would look nice, but You can always just use paint, as well......At least until you get with Jerry, anyway.....

Olskoolrodder Posted June 16, 2015 Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) Looks great! I need to get myself one of those and give it a try Edited June 17, 2015 by Olskoolrodder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chu Posted June 16, 2015 Author Share Posted June 16, 2015 Looks great! I need ot get myself one of those and give it a try You're not going to regret if you tried this trailer it look beautiful!! Other modification that I made was using a piece of sprue and glued to the mud flaps. I did that because of the itareli tires are wide and the mud flaps didn't fit behind the trailer wheels .If you careful see the back of the triller you're going to notice the bar between the mud flaps.

I just have the crazy idea to put this tires and rims. I patiently wait to find the rims and tires in a accessible cost to buy it (from ebay) I also rob the chevy 55' inner wheels to look a little realistic.This one was my second built and isn't bad at all J.T. Probably In the future I'm going to built a Autocar a64b, DC 9964B or 1950 hood conv. to put hook on this trailer. I have around 4 of this awesome trucks that I collected around the part three years over price but what ca I say!! I have them and I looking foward to built them.

SpreadAxle Posted August 4, 2015 Share Posted August 4, 2015 Nice work. What red paint did you use? It looks very close to the shade of red Fruehauf used on their trailers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
