Well here is some pictures to show what I bought. I have since then raised the axle from below to above the leaf springs for a 2.5 inch lift and converted the ramp into two swing open doors. Just finished the doors so will have to wait for daylight to post that picture.

Hi Kelly, cool trailer I swear at some point I owned the same one in construction but I can't pin point when and what I used it for
So do you have a design in your head as to what your going to do

Steve

Hey Steve

No design other than lucking out on the shell design as purchased. So far I've converted the ramp to doors, raised the axle to above the springs and added a rain guard above the back doors. I plan to carpet all of the interior as I scored a bunch for free. I am looking at how to add either canvas or solid material to the sides and back of the tilt up roof. I also need rear stabilizers to stop the tilting when detached from the truck. Then I'm going to work on a small amount of amenities inside as we'll as an awning off the back perhaps incorporated with the tilt up roof section.

I'm sure more will come to me but that's enough to keep me busy for now lol.


Oh ya an eventually adding tin to all of the exterior walls.
