Re: Flat bed Trailer, Aussie style!!
Thanks Tracy, appreciate the comments
The Diamond Plate has changed the look quite a bit, just gotta put a few scratches and dents around the place to give it that "used" look!! Paul

Re: Flat bed Trailer, Aussie style!!
Been fiddling around again and found a piece of material for a tarp, needs a few stitches here and there, but, I think it will do the job....

Re: Flat bed Trailer, Aussie style!!
Lol!! My apologies, I see what you mean now, I have seen them set up that way with the Hoist, but, the thought never crossed my mind, I could've built it that way, yeah!!! Durrr!!!!
Maybe an idea for a future build... Thanks youngGunz, appreciate the cool feedback

Re: Flat bed Trailer, Aussie style!!
Caged trailers are rare these days, that's why I gotta build me a "Old School" truck to pull it around, I do have one in mind...

Re: Flat bed Trailer, Aussie style!!
It definately is Old School, Tracy,
gonna be a lot of fun building it too!! Gotta KH body here to start off with, gonna have to chop the roofline down a bit and tilt the windscreen back a little, amongst a lot of other detail Might have to employ our old friend 1800-BB-TIMMY to do the cow killer though...Lol!! Paul

Re: Flat bed Trailer, Aussie style!!
Well I was going to say as well only a 1800-BB-TIMMY BB would do for this build but thought I would leave it later in the build once the body work was started LOL
Cheers Tracy
