Ford LTL

This is my first scratch built tipper l will do a trailer later, using stock sheet  for the body opening tailgate,tipper hoist using an old stereo wireless aerial Auslowe cab back,hydrolic oil tank,photo mud flaps and number plates,very happy with the results Cheers.

Very nice build mate

Great job on it.

very nice...
well done bloke.

Another excellent effort Col, your quality of work and your finishes are 2nd to none.
I applaud you for not taking the "out of the box" route.

Hey Col......What the "F !!"......this things got the same rego as the cruiseliner..???
(wonder how that happens?)
And where do you keep getting all those yellow and red lights from?
I assume the fords will be going to Buningyong?

G-Day Clea yes they will be going to Buninyong plus a few cars,the Yellow and Red lights are Rhinstone's ebay out of China about $2 for about 500 and free postage different Dia's as well l got 6 mm clear for 7" headlights they work great,as for the number plate l have one on the front and you have one on the back,That will work won't it??? Cheers .

Used to be a mob in town here back in the eighties that had all their number plates held on with wing nuts on a fleet all of the same make......So same plate on 2 different things does have a 1:1 history.  Nice LTL, tri pig would also suit this era like Slades from Sydney mid to late 80's.

G-day everybody here are a few photos of the trailer for the LTL this is all scratch built except for the suspensions which are out of the AMT flattop trailer it is a quad dog trailer with working opening tailgate it is in primer as l type this  so colour next more as l go Cheers

Really nice stuff Col, fantastic scratch building again.
I enjoy seeing you're work.

Wow, the Ford looks like a 1:1. Amazing work, the lights, front and back are awesome!
Fantastic work with all the scratch building.

Nice work here Col, going to look the business behind the LTL!. Are you working off an actual trailer, plans or just making it up as you go? Reason I ask is that the hoist in my quad sits a fair bit further back and actually slopes forward quite a bit when lowered. I'm told this is so it can have longer stages and therefore less stages in the hoist where a vertical mount needs more stages to reach the same height. This isn't a criticism in any way, just me wondering out loud. Our 2 axle has the hoist pretty much where yours is. Thinking of something similar with a V8 Valueliner.

These might help Col.

Very nice build there Col. Nice crisp white paint job.

Great job on the trailer so far.

Well here is the finished quad dog the tailgate works the hoist is made out of a cut down portable stereo aerial the mudflaps are printed on  photo paper side lights are 2mm red and amber glued to a thin strip of Evergreen and then glued to the body,Rhinestone taillights and turn signals wheels are Moebius   front and rear enjoy the finished trailer.

Great looking unit Col, has an attitude all of it's own.

Great looking tipper mate

Regards Tony.
