Hi. Here are a few pictures of my latest stovebolt project. Last summer I bought a parts truck for my '48, mostly to have an extra two speed rear end on hand just in case. Well one thing lead to another and I decided to build a matching trailer for the '48. At first I felt kinda bad for junking the old parts truck, but the more I got into it the more I realized the cab and other essentials were beyond repair. I also felt better by putting the some of the major parts of the the truck back to use.
One thing kind of different about this trailer is that I used the front axle for a hydraulically liftable tag axle. It's also a dump bed (to match the truck) and sometime later this summer when I have time, I'll install the cylinder and lift assembly.
I'd like to thank Matt for the tires and rims (they're on the tag axle), Bruce for the hoist cylinder and lift assembly, and my Dad for the inspiration from the one he built for his for '64 GMC over 35 years ago (both of which are still going strong).
