Trailer Model Numbers

[Jim B]

Does anyone know the Fruehauf & Wilson model numbers for these AMT trailers?

Just for general curiosity. Thanks

Don't have a clue as to the #'s, but it sure does remind me of Ice Road Truckers.

[Jim B]

Yes, that table top does have the effect.

All these has been reissued several times with different numbers, but as far as I know these are the first.
The Wilson Lifestock Trailer had T-594 at the initial release 1972
The Fruehauf Van Semi-Trailer had T-507 1971
The Fruehauf Tanker had T-506 1971
The Fruehauf Exterior Post Van had T-524 1972

Thanks, Håkan; but that's not what I was looking for.  I am looking for the Fruehauf & Wilson model numbers, not the AMT model numbers.  It's good information, though.

Hello Jim , the van trailer with beaded panels is Fruehauf FBZ F2 40 ( for 40 feet).

[Jim B]

Merci!

Sorry, I missunderstood.

[Jim B]

No problem.  It happens.

I’m building this trailer , this kit is hard to build , the assemblies are very imprecise and plastic is not of very good quality ( # Evergreen styrene quality) . However it is a very detailed  and interesting trailer . Is it the same with others trailers ?     Philippe.

Philippe, if I remember correctly, I glued angle stock along the upper & lower seams on the side walls to give the floor & roof something to mount to.  I had no plans on opening the trailer up, so that really helped stiffen up the box.  If you want another challenge, try the AMT tank trailer.

Thanks Jim ,  i think the word « challenge «  is the right word for Amt trailer kits ! ???

[Jim B]

Well, that's one way to put it! ?

Just ordered the "Lowboy" trailer.... Hope I don't have any problems with that one.....??

[Jim B]

I have the AMT Lowboy trailer, but I haven't built it yet.  I also have the AMT Flatbed trailer.

I don't have a Fruehauf model number for the for the flatbed, but the Load King lowboy is a FB34D (I think), with a 75T capacity.
