Custom Homemade Utility Trailer "Li'l Red"

[Falcon Ranchero]

This is probably the most custom trailer out there; it was originally built in 1963 by my grandma's father, who was a skilled carpenter. He used the rear suspension from a '30 or '40 Chevy, and built it up from that platform. It was originally nothing special, at all, but after its complete overhaul in 2020, I've been adding trim pieces and badging just for fun.

Nice little trailer. Probably will last pretty much forever as a useful heirloom.

Glad that you elected to restore it rather than leaving at the dump as most if-it's-not-shiny-I-don't-want-its would..

No, the tailights are just there as reflectors; they came off my grandfather's '74 Ford truck
