Straight sided trailer
 

I started building this a few days back while I wait for other projects to come in. I'm trying to keep this as simple as I can to keep the price down. The plan is to have it powder coated as normal but I haven't desided on a color just yet. I am looking for a buyer so if anyone is interested let me know. Now's the time to add things like a tarp or another axle if someone were to want it. Once it's coated it will be tough to make changes. I hope to have the metal work finished by the end of the week.

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

That's something different :cool:

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Thanks guys. I have visions of this being the perfect platform to apply some cool graphics after powder coat. Of course I'm not sure that anyone else would like that.lol My plan is to finish out the underside with all of the usual support ribs for the 1:1 look when the box is up. That will take a while to make them all and weld them in. I also plan to add a ladder to the front. I'm looking to see $1100USD out of this when it's finished but if someone doesn't care about the ribs underneath I would let it go a bit cheaper.

All smooth underneath

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Ya think? Probably save me 3-4 hrs of work that way.

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Another work of art. Too bad the electrician was here and left a $2400 bill...

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

OUCH! I hope it was for added upgrades and not just repair?

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

If there not adding strength to the floor then skip them
The box is strong enough with out them. Maybe one
Under the tailgate area

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Not for strength, just for looks. If these tubs get bent they are being abused.lol

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

What you talking about willis????

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Well you ought to know your in the right place for abuse, equipment or other wise :lol::lol::lol::p:p:D

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Yeah, I'm used to it.lol

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Top and bottom rails are mounted along with the tailgate. Almost liking the raw look on this one....

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

A few more hours and some more details added. Not long now and it won't be a "simple" trailer anymore. It's starting to take shape though!

Tire kickers

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Lots of interest in this one but no buyer yet...:(

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Well she's all ready to be torn down so that some or all of the parts can be powder coated. This trailer could be polished quite easily if someone wanted to spend the time. There are very few imperfections in the tub itself. The tailgate would need a little sanding to remove some marks from machining but that's all.

Thanks for looking

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Love it all but the rear, think I know what to order when I'm ready. Nice work.

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

I love it! It's not mine but I think the ribs underneath would have been well worth the extra work. Beautiful trailer.

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

I got the parts for this one back from coating today so I've spent the last few hours putting things back together. It has found a home and will be polished this winter. I spent some time and machined the backside of the tailgate out so that a removable panel could be installed. I think this will make polishing much easier! We also elected to install a set of my walking beams for some added stability.

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Oh wow I could imagine this one already all polished up...going to need some black shades when playing outside! :D

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

One thing at a time, but one of these is definitely on my list. Have a picture saved on my phone of one similar to this.

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

I have another one of these on the go. We are doing this one with a bit more detail... Right Calvin?:D

Re: Straight sided trailer
 

Hey Reg,

have you ever thought about moving the tailgate hinges forward for a high lift tailgate? Just a thought.
