I decided I need to complete some of my unfinished projects, so recently Craig (CJ), Wimpy and myself went and picked up a truck jeep so I will have another axle under the trailer up front. It needs some repairs (but everything I purchase does!), so this will be one of the winter projects.
Also this winter, I will be working on adding onto the lowboy I have. This is a 1944 Fruehauf lowboy. With the research I've done, it looks to be a military tank hauler, which they loaded from the sides. I have removed the metal off of the deck of the trailer and cut the gooseneck off, as I have to add 7' to the well of the trailer. Here's a couple of pictures with the gooseneck removed and this past weekend I added the 4 I-beams to lengthen the trailer. I am making this into a RGN (removable gooseneck). This way I do not need a loading dock or ramps. Lots of big heavy work, but I am hoping the outcome will be very usable and easy to load.
