1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

It's been awhile since my last post. I thought I would share a pic of my 1955 rainbow trailer that I just finished last year. http://loungebait.blogspot.ca/

beautiful truck and trailer

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Got any more pics of the trailer? Here is my 58 Devile, that i hope to some day pull with the gmc.

my full resto is in the link. nice trailer. do you have a link to more pics? are you going to Lynden WA (Mt baker) this fall?

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

I will try dig up some pics, but I must confess that we purchased the trailer from a nice guy from Enderby BC, he had a few trailers that were restored. I don't have enough time or skill to do a full resto on my own. I looked through your link, you did a great job, that interior was supper nice. I really liked your idea of a battery box up front. I have been sliding a heavy battery in and out of one of the storage bins in the rear of the camper, I think i might steal that idea.

They both look great!

x2!

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Beautifully done!
I'm right there with you guys, these canned hams are super cool.
Here's my 70 GMC and my 71 Scotty.

LOVE your GMC!

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Very nice (to all of the above).

when the truck is lowered, do you guys add support springs to haul the trailers?

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Nice combos! RenoKeene that trailer is begging for some matching rally wheels to top it off.

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

before I but the batteries and the tank up on the tongue, my tongue weight was around 100 lbs. (12 ft) not much of a drop. I know my big trailer drops 4" even with the stabilizing bars on it. 600 lbs (29 ft) tongue weight
I know that really didn't answer your question. But it give you an idea of the drop.

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

I like that combo! Sweet K1500 and cool camper. Lots of nice campers here!

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

can can see here how much the truck drops with the big trailer

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

one more pic of the hitch. when the license is down you don't even know that I have a hitch. The 7 pin connector is up underneath out of sight

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

I'm holding out for a pair of original Scotty caps, very rare and very expensive.

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Someday I hope to post an image in this type thread.
I have a 1948 Cub Tear Drop trailer. It needs to be completely redone, including body damage. But I love the little Tear Drop Trailers.
This is what Mine looks like, but in way worse shape.

i would love to get me an old lo-boy trailer and use my stepper to go camping in. im petting a hitch on but i was thinking i might have to put helper springs on too. 4" drop.
great pics too guys

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Man.... Your prowler looks awesome too. You repainted it right??


I love lookin at vintage trailers. The Scotty is killer too. We originally wanted a sportsman, but wound up with our deville. In the end they are all really cool.

Here is a link, if it works from the for sale ad of our trailer. Its cool googling 58 deville trailer and seeing your own rig in the images.

WOW gorgeous what is the car you tow it with. I hope you camp in it

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

i only painted the green stripes. they were a rainbow of blue strips and gold on the bottom.

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

I love your set up. truck and trailer well done. These turn heads. not a $50 000 truck and a $50 000 trailer.

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Those pics were from the classified add. The seller painted the trailer to match his studebaker.

We do camp quite often in it, which is why if you see the trailer in person there are quite a few scratches and dings. Oh well, we didn't buy just to look at it in the driveway. We are pulling it with this, but someday hopefully the k2500 can do the job.

Re: 1972 gmc and 1955 trailer
 

Well howdy neighbour....you are right in my stompin' grounds here in Victoria....Oh, and very nice trailer.
We have an older small 14'er we tow which I should post up.
All Good
