Rockford Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 (edited) My 1/32 exterior post van is no longer a dream, it's now a thing! It's a Fruehauf Reefer dismembered into roof, sides and bulkhead, then converted using 1mm square rod. Fabbed a roller shutter rear door, modified the wheels to sink the spiders further in, made the landing gear operable, reset the suspension height, converted it to Fruehauf F2 lightweight suspension too. Looks good behind trucks of the era. Just imagine the Pete pulling it into a hot, dusty truck stop in Arizona, the trailer suspension squeaking and banging over the potholed surface, the rear shutter chattering with the bumps... I'm glad I took the leap because it was rather scary and impulsive. Edited April 8 by Rockford Text correction 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cifenet Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That is quite impressive, if you didn’t mention about the post, everyone is going to think that is how the kit came. Nice job making the modifications to stay clean and proportional to the overall work. Well done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know where I'm coming from on this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
