Hello all, My name is Darwin and I am from Seattle, Wa. I built my tuck in 2006, finished everything except I needed a longer drive shaft. Life happened and my truck sat on the shelf for 6 years. Truck is now done and I just built this trailer for it. I have always wanted to do custom building of trailers so I thought why not now. I developed this modular suspension system which will make it easier on future builds, not having to search for axles etc. I now make my own. Love looking at all the forum posts and pics! Good day, Darwin

Thanks for the compliments guys!
Yes, on the truck some of the mods were the Wedico sleeper, I also lengthened hood and moved front axle forward, also cut and remolded front fenders in correct place and style. The frame was lengthened and a curb window was installed in pass. door. I enjoyed the build but my main reason for building the truck was so I could build a trailer and have something to pull it with! I have spent many years around lumber flatbeds , driving them, loading/unloading them so that is where my interest lies. Ready to start on trailer #2 now. Darwin |

Welcome to the forum, Darwin. There are a lot of great people here to make friends with and a wealth of knowledge on the site.
![]() I like what you did with the whole unit. That is a Master Build. ![]() If you have any tips about how to make the curb window, I'd appreciate it. ![]() I've wanted to install one in to a couple of my trucks, but I'm at a loss as to how to make it come out that nice. ![]() The trailer suspension is also very nice. If you have more photo's, please post them. ![]() - RCT

As said before, beautiful combo. What did you use for the decking on the trailer? Really looks the part.

No my name wasn't narcop, but I was on the garden trucking forum and posted my truck on it while I was building it and then when it was finished. Good memory!!
