1969 Aristocrat Lo Liner - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2015, 11:29 AM

I found this girl on the net about 3.5 hours away back in 2013 and pulled her home to rebuild for my son and I to take camping trips around the area. I had to use my dads S10 to go get her, Clyde wasn't in a mood to drive that far at the time.

I thought she was in pretty good shape but knew she had some water damage and proceeded to take her apart.

Here is my progress..

first pix are when I pulled her home and then when I stuck her in the garage for tear down.

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2015, 11:31 AM

quick look at what I had. She didnt have much damage and all of it was dry from sitting in an warehouse for 10 plus years...

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2015, 11:32 AM

More

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2015, 11:35 AM

and more

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2015, 11:36 AM

And she definitely needed a good clean up.

Here are some pix of the water damage..

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2015, 11:38 AM

and still more with tear down also

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2015, 11:47 AM

I removed all the windows and the molding at the top of the trailer that runs front to back so I can reseal everything with the special tape stuff and I have most of the windows back in. I had to remove the dinette ( one side) to replace the wall nearest the door, was real bad since the door was whopper-jawed. Siding is all back on, I used some spare Tyvek under the skin to hopefully prevent this again, also I used fiberglass resin on the bottom 6" of the boards for the same reason, those should never suck water again.

More pix to come when I get back out there to work on her.

**Clyde65** · 04-10-2016, 06:16 PM

More progress!!

Thank you sir!

I felt like I bit off too much but since I have just taken a small bite at a time, it doesn't seem to be too awful bad...only thing is I got laid off last September and haven't found the right job so $ is slim....I am working at Lowes right now and it is paying most of the bills but no extra at all.

I would even entertain selling her if someone wanted to finish....until that time, ill keep plugging away...only a few more pieces of wood to replace and then the skin goes back on...then the windows...

**Clyde65** · 07-30-2016, 03:55 PM

Small update, i got the rear wood replacement completed and buttoned up. Need to insulate and then put the skin back on.

**Clyde65** · 07-31-2016, 03:04 PM

Insulation and began placing sheet metal back. Decided 102 and 106 thi was my limit.

Average Joe · 07-31-2016, 07:51 PM

Cool project and nice work! I like the old trailers.

**Clyde65** · 08-01-2016, 02:13 PM

Thanks Joe!

I bought this to gut and rebuild. I have found this was A LOT bigger than I thought, I didnt really have the skills to take it on and it was going to take far longer than I anticipated(2years so far).

I hired a company to start and they tried to screw me but I was smarter than they thought.

**Clyde65** · 10-25-2017, 07:10 PM

Update: I haven’t touched my trailer for over a year, I never have time to do any work on her because I am working on my truck as well as working on my Kubota tractor and also full time day job!

So...I sent her to someone who has time and talent.

**Clyde65** · 10-25-2017, 07:12 PM

First pictures of my girl since sending her to the trailer spa.

I have tons of pictures, what are you looking for?

I have more to do, this is not a show winning trailer, I wanted it clean, warm, dry and safe. I am working on rebuilding the rear hatch door, some interior moldings and the upholstery also.

1971 Lo-Liner pulled home with my brothers truck

The wheels look like they should be farther to the rear to keep the weight more to the front, so be careful how you weight it when towing it. You want more weight in front of the wheels. Only mention this because I had a friend who had a trailer similar to that and the fresh water tank was in the very rear. He left home with a full tank and the rear got to fish tailing because it wasn't balanced good and it finally turned over. He said it was an exciting ride, LOL.

**Clyde65** · 11-17-2017, 12:00 PM

Warrens69GMC, nice trailer!

51Chevyman · 11-17-2017, 11:18 PM

Any interior pics would be cool.

**Clyde65** · 11-18-2017, 03:40 PM

Some interior pix.

51Chevyman · 11-18-2017, 03:59 PM

The interior looks in good shape. I have a 1967 Shasta that the farmer who now owns the field around my home gave me that was 1/2 a mile behind the house back in the woods. I believe the original owners of my house put it back there to use as a hunting shack. It took a lot to get it up out of the dirt it had sank into and get new wheels on it. I now have it up to my place but it was trashed by woodland creatures and needs a total renovation head to toe. Wish it was in as good of shape as yours. I hope to restore it to pull behind my 64, but first I have to get the 64 done. If only I had more time and money. Hope you have fun with it.
