ReduitRetro Posted April 4, 2020 Share Posted April 4, 2020 Since my last installment on this build, I found that I had to redesign the rear swing away coral gate, to better mimic how the gate works in actual livestock trailers. When the gate is in the stowed position, it simply swings over against the right side of the trailer. This allows the livestock to be loaded onto the lower deck, and also provides an unobstructed rear load floor when needed. When the upper deck is loaded, the gate is swung over and locked into position next to the loading ramp, protecting the animals from possibly falling off the ramp while loading or unloading. I completely scratch built the rear lift door panel from the early now obsolete center load design, to a double lift door. The "wooden" door slats supplied in the kits were shortened to fit the new openings, along with modifying the door glide rail positions. Next installment....some assembly, with paint...and some "debris" on the floors! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
