70's Wilison Cattle Trailer

[mazdaparts]

I took a trip to Lee's Summit MO today and passed what looked to be an old wilson trailer sales lot or maybe a manufacturing building. It had Wilson Trailers on the sign and had a lot of older trailers (mostly van body) sitting out front. I was just off of I70, danged if I remember were though.

Just did a google search of Wilson Trailers and they have a sales lot on I70 in Columbia MO.

Thats pretty cool they make the livestock trailers down the road from me in Yankton SD and grain trailers are made in Lenox SD..

Ok got most of the detail done on the nose of the trailer. Ribs and tire rack and Porch Light.. The Porch Light is are family farm are brand "7L" has been registered for almost 100 years..




Got some left on the rear I have the light panel and mud flaps and ICC Bar also the rear door too..



Thanks Much Enjoy

Thanks Much Dave I have had this idea for sometime but my oldest son too the horse my the reigns and made it happen.. I am going to go with the Barn Red color with the whit roof and tail end like they painted most of them they also came in a light blue and white but not so poplar was that combo..


So I got a little time today and got most of the back finished on mine..

I made the rear light panel and bumper and also the roll up door..





Tristin has also been building one for a member on the board "GUN" here is his trailer.


The sides come off for ease of wiring and painting..

Rear section


If there is enuff interest this is the state we will be finishing them to, to sell all you will have to do is add a few detils if you choose and put running gear on it and paint it..

Now GUN asked us to finish his all the way we can do that too for extra we will see..

I guess if there is not enuff interest then these will be the only 2 we make..

Thanks For looking..
