I left the rear panel straight on this one because I think 000 ooo 000 would look perfect but until a buyer comes along I won't be drilling anything just in case they have a different vision. There's only one persons opinion that really matters and that's the one with cash in hand.

I was messing with my Mack conversion today and I wanted to see what it looked like with a trailer in tow. I think it looks good but the trailer would look better finished and behind someone else truck.

Thanks for looking.

Bump! This one needs the finishing touches and a new home. Any takers? $1250US plus shipping. That will include holes for tail lights and powder coat finish.

Just out of curiosity how long are they. When I first saw these 1/14 truck i always thought they were small until i finally saw one in person. I know the Grand Hauler takes up the size of my dresser. So I wonder how long a truck n trailer combo would be. Especially since I've never seen a trailer now in person. Have to stop looking at this thread. Getting regrets for returning the 2nd Grand I bought for a daycab and dump trailer project I had planned.

The one in the picture is 28 1/2". The first one I built was on the same chassis but the tub was shorter with frame sticking out the front. The biggest I have built is Benny's tri-axle at 36" That maxes out my bender and slip roll so I can't build anything bigger than that without joining pieces together. The size of the last few seems to be the most practical to me but it doesn't really matter what I think only what I can build for the customer.

mine should be the same as bennie's with 4 axles

Ok so maybe scrubbing that project was a good idea. Storing 3 sc rigs, 1 crawler, all my rc related stuff and now the Grand and the tag trailer is already taking up space in my apt.

Ben was kind enough to share this video of his and Alex's trucks/trailers with me yesterday. It looks like they were having a great time at the show and it was really cool for me to see both trailers together. Thanks guys!

No doubt Reg! Unstoppable! It's probably my imagination but I think they like the abuse!

There are some decent rocks out in that IL dirt we play in at Nate's and I had him drop a soft-ball sized one out of the Vario's bucket from a couple inches up and it took it like a champ.....and the powder coat shows no evidence.

Awesome trailers, awesome fabricator!

This one finally made it's way into the mail and towards it's new home last week. We made some minor changes to it by adding a ladder to the front, changing the rear pan and flaps, and giving it a coat of velvet black. I think it looks pretty good!
