SpreadAxle Posted August 3, 2015 Share Posted August 3, 2015 Finished at last. Here is my Astro and the 40 ft Trailmobile van I built for it. It was made using 2 of the 27' Trailmobile double trailers. Aside from lengthening it, I made a tandem axle suspension, added the big crossmember ahead of the suspension that Trailmobiles had on their older 40 footers, added air hoses, and a few other small details. I weathered it as best I could and added the soot stain on the upper right that used to be common on van trailers of that era. Now that it's complete, I can get back to my White Freightliner and others. Thanks for looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
