Here is a Ertl dodge 2500 that I custom made into a regualr cab. All I got to do it add alittle paint but got to get some more. What do you all think? [img src="[/img] i950.photobucket.com/albums/ad348/JD8345r/DSCN2618.jpg"] Here is a ertl dodge with a small lift on it. Here is a ertl trailer I put fenders on and side boards. Here is a custom gooseneck trailer I made outa one of those plastic ford F750 you get from tractor supply. All comments and questions welcome.

I grinded down the plastic where the axals go through and then glued on some small tubing in its place. I did not grind it all the way down just alittle and made it flat so the new tubing could be glued down flat also. It looks similar to the red truck except I did not use a spacer between the original axal and the new. Hope this helps

Now that I think of it the new axal is made out of the same tubing I used for the dual exhaust.

Neat ideas. I was actually given a trailer much like the last one you have pics of.

How did you cut the bed from the cab? A hack saw?

yep.. thats exactly what I did. Used a table grinder to round the edge.. I had to cut the plastic frame part to and glue it back. turned out pretty good I think..
