2O

Later

I'm thinking 22 ft max so I can build the "Pilot House Hauler" inside. Gonna add a winch and will dove tail the rear. Done with the come along except for back up. Titled it today and got a cool motorcycle sized plate.

22ft foot trailer deal lord where would you park it? I have a 16ft and its in the way every day, 8 more feet would surely leave marks on the rest of the cars.

looking good though!

 

[Burgerman]

Big is good plus extra length will help with load placement. Will build a nice winch/tool box. I like the boxed 5/2 frame. Will keep this in tractor shed at the farm.

Pilot House Hauler, I though you were building a driver. trailer should work out ****.

 

[Burgerman]

Building both Dozer. The free travel trailer donor was super ugly so had to get on with the trailer build too and make the ugly go away.

Plus need a trailer now to run the local pilot house rescue program.

 

[joedoh]

what kind of weight will it haul? besides the dodge haha, we all know you will be dragging things home with it. and by things I mean orphans. [cl

 

[Burgerman]

I'm think'n these are 3500lb rated axles Joe. Orphans and S10 donors should haul fine. Gonna scale back to max of 20 ft.

Back on the Pilot House. Bed fab work and scrubbed off the layer of protective dirt.

Thanks guys. Some work on the bed today.

 

[Old Iron]

Will you be changing the backspacing of the wheels or do you have clearance between the back of the tires to the bed sides ?

Got about 90% clearance now. I can cut more room for wheel travel if needed.

 

[Old Iron]

I ended up putting small fender wells in the last two S10 swaps so the tires would clear.

 

[Burgerman]

Figur'n out the Slant 6 install. I plan to modify the stock mopar engine mounts. Looks like if I raise the PS pump things should work. Ideas and pointers welcome. Thanks.
