Old style combat rims on a trailer

[Nick]

Asked on the Power Wagon forum and already have their response:

"If you use 1/2 ton WC rims (split rim) you will have the described problem. Additionally 1/2 ton WC rims are not combat rims.Combat rims are found on 3/4 ton WC trucks. They will work just fine on a WDX and later versions of the WM300 style PWs. "

"Love the contrasting paint too!"


Yeah, believe it or not, I found that paint at Michaels. Its called Italian Olive. Kinda appropriate. I painted the side marker clearance light frames and the side reflector frames the same color. Pics to follow of the trailer with new shoes on soon.

Took the whole contraption out for a drive today. Got tons of thumbs ups and stares

Thanks, nice to be at this point. I was laying in bed this morning when I woke up thinking, wow, my truck is almost completely done, now I won't have an excuse to be out there ALL DAY LONG. Guess that means I need another project.

Nick:

Was it you that got a cotton trailer for parades?

 

[Nick]

Yeah, I can start working on that now that the truck to pull it is a little more presentable, lol. Didn't wanna pull a trailer with half a truck

Post the restoration of the cotton trailer too!

I will, Ill put it in my M101 thread. One of the Christmas parades is coming up, don't thin Ill have it ready for it, but I need to at least start designing it and decide if I want small side walls, to keep from falling off, or what, I dunno yet
