Old Timey Lowboy

I want to build one of these someday to hook up behind the GMC. What were the companies who made those and any hint that can help me google some info is wecome.

This trailer could easily be made from the current AMT lowboy kit by removing the third axle and adding the folding outrigger brackets.

That might be a Rogers or a Talbert lowboy? I mastered this little heavy duty, three spoke wheel in 1/25 specifically for lowboy trailers like that. They have since been "modernized" with a tubless wheel ring and much better tires. (the ones in grey resin and the updated ones) I think the tube type wheel ring is still an option for them though.You can purchase them from Jamie Rahmoeller at www.moluminum.com He has outriggers I mastered as well.

Here's how the wheels look now.

These are the outriggers I mastered and Jamie sells.

You might also try Hyster trailers too.

That was my plan, to use the AMT lowboy. I bought a bunch of scrap ones a while back on eBay.

I don't see either the outriggers or the wheels on his site. would I have to ask for them specifically? Would the wheels be 18"?

Send him an email, he has them. I think the three spokes are 15". I mastered a couple different 18" two hole wheels that he sells as well. His email should be on the website.

Pat those are the same wheels that I picked up from the same place and they are very nice ?
