1975 Wilson Livestock Trailer Complete

[Danno]

Impressive trailer!! Love the spare hoist and the rear door system.

Glad you guys like it. Took me a while to figure out how to make those pulleys.

The AMT trailer is more like the one below. Pre 1980 style. Nice job nevertheless.

That's the look I was going for. It's pretty close.

Got a herd of scale cows to go with it! ...really looks good man, and I think it looks good with the Astro

So Jim B, you're the owner of this gorgeous GMC Astro! I have seen your build of this truck some months ago, I was astonished by the quality of the paint! I like what you did to it, best looking OEM paint scheme from GMC, great colors together, the poseable front axle, the chrome wheels, the rear fenders... Looks great! And yes it does go really well with that livestock trailer. The details on that trailer make it that much more realistic! Nice rig!

Thanks, guys.

Brian, no scale cows, but the farm next door to me has 500 milking head. Does that count?

Robert, thank you for the compliments on the Astro. I cannot take complete credit for the pait job on the cab. I picked the colors & the scheme; but a friend of mine painted it & added the thin white vinyl stripes. I did do the steerable front axle, and swapped out the spokes & spring suspension for the disks & air ride from the GMC General. I also added KFS P/E windshield wipers & stacks. The 1/4 fenders are from the GMC General as well.

Nice work you have done on this!

I like it hooked on the Astro. This truck would be a very nice mid 80s movie truck.... Maybe Love Mashine would die to drive a truck like this...
