This has been a long and tiresome project. A quick history...I got this trailer from a good friend that got it off ebay...it started life as a Autum tanker...then someone decided to paint it. Then my buddy got it and decided he would "repaint" it... So fast forward to me recieving it...was totally dismantled...with at least 3 coats of brush paint on all of it. I carefully took it all apart...some braces had to be remade due to breakage, and it was missing parts as well. I stripped it and repainted the frame white with black upper braces. I also had to make all of the hoses and i made some extra ones that are located on the tounge and the rear. This has taken about 4 months to complete. Let me know what you think about it and if you are ever thinking of taking one of these apart...DONT!!

extra vacume hose

This is this trucks final trailer as it has been with many...

As always thanks for looking.
