Thanks Jeff, already thinking about my next build and gotta long way to go on this one yet.

Thanks Wolf, paint work done, start assembly of trailer tomorrow Thanks Ron, appreciate ya lookin

Paint is getting applied the last couple days.

Got the tires/wheels built this morning, measuring the axles out, will glue them on after paint, as the suspension will be semi gloss black. Next assemble all the brake parts (sitting on aluminum plate). Ready to start primer/paint on all frame, fenders and frame components. Will build axles while painting frame stuff.

This truck really looks the business

Thanks Steve

Wwwoooowwww, Those wheels look outstanding, well done Jurgen. Nice progress

And a swivel handle

Managed to build a set of jacks today, think they work.

My highest respect for your skills, well done

Got the fenders modified to match the truck and spending more time sanding the fenders to reduce the issues I had painting them. Made a tail light assembly similar to the rear truck light setup. Trying to follow the mild custom theme on truck and trailer.

Ok, so once you get the fuse box on, how are you going to wire under the dash? Won’t that be a bit of a challenge? Sorry, just had to throw that out there.😆🤣🤩, really like the insulation on the firewall, THAT is a great touch. Got to get some ordered.

Wow, that is looking good, nice modifications, they work well.

Getting close to paint, got to work out the lights and some details for load straps.

Thanks Brian, I like the build to tell a story. The rest of the pallet/container snaps over the molding machine.

Man, you guys are on another level, this is gonna be good, got my popcorn😆🤩😆

Thank you Topher thanks Scott, got more crossmembers to make and details to finish up the frame, then cleanup.

Need to build a few more crossmembers and do doom finish work. Got the deck plates made for front and back (they will be chrome diamond plate to match truck). Trailer will receive the same blue paint. The load is an injection molding machine kit I built several years ago but did nothing with. Chrome wheelset came Friday. Lot more work on trailer yet.

Big compliment Wolf thank you, I have thru the grape vine heard that you are a really good builder. I have a lot of homemade tools I use, scratch building is by far my favorite. You are welcome to message me and we can talk tools, tips and tricks anytime.

I did not find any online prints for this build. So I am kinda using what knowledge I have and refereeing to pictures. This low trailer does allow for a sturdy frame beam underneath because of the ground clearance. The last frame I did was a drop deck that gave me more space under the trailer for a taller frame.

Deck floor rough fabrication on drivers side, hopefully tomorrow I can build the passenger side deck floor.

The joy of watching this build

Every part gets the Brian touch, well done professor, that interior is a work of art.

I am not very familiar with this style of trailer and thought the wooden blocks where nonsense, but as you say, they just drop these trailers on wooden blocks. Who knew.

Lots of crossmembers to be fabricated, but had to do a quick mock-up to make sure trailer can pivot behind truck without hitting fenders on truck. got to figure out crank up jacks, pictures shows these trailers being dropped on wooden blocks, not sure I like that. Thought about single large Jack in the center.
