    Here's my new trailer. My parents neighbor built it with a friend back in the 40s. He said he used a Ford truck for parts, but most of it is fabbed. It's a really well made dump box. The lights are completely encased in 1/4 steel housings complete with grills, lots of nice details. It was first registered in '47, so I figure it will match nicely with my '47 truck.

    There is still what looks to be an original wooden bed under the steel floor.

    This one needs restoring but everyone remembers it, I built everything on it, from something else. It made a couple of local magazines, and one local news cast. the wheelie bar, see if you can guess what it's made from lol, sorry if the pictures aren't the greatest, camera wasn't that good, it will get restored, In the winter I used to put Christmas lights on it, and inverter and a battery, and drive it around. I made everything on it, the oil filter even spins off. It started out as a simple job to replace the tiny worn out tires with the slot mags, I already had, and it got out of control.

    Don't know about cool or unique but here's mine. Made out of 60's Chevy. I cut 2.5 inches maybe more of coil last month. Got tired of the insane ride height and rocking. Put over 2k on it majority of it without any gear lube in axle.. pulls much easier after I fixed it.

    Here is mine again at a local cruise-in. I took it to a small-ish car show, around 100 cars, that was a benifit for a kid named Hunter and won a "Hunter's Choice" trophy with it :D

    Got it made in the shade :D

    I felt like the sides were kinda boring looking, and was contemplating a pin up girl, but found these tin signs for cheap and thought I'd try them since they are so easy to remove. I'm still on the fence about them. It looks like a collection of signs, only there is just one :(

    This one is a little O/T, but it's something I whipped up in an afternoon for a buddy who found himself having trouble hauling groceries by hand

    and a last one of a guy at a cruise night with his rig.
