Its interesting that the Comet trailer I worked over was very similar to the Utility that I rebuilt. A few minor differences, but one was mostly a copy of the other.
Actually it's an old Consolidated Freightways 40 footer. It's been sitting in a field for 14 years so the wheel seals are rotted out otherwise it doesn't seem to have many miles on it, wheel bearings look like new.
back em' into wheel stops... then keep going since the wheel stops are ~6 inches tall(most of em'... I have seen bigger ones but they aren't too common around here) if the flap gets pinched between the rubber and the stop off it comes
That bumper looks nice
How long of mud flaps you gonna hang on it??? I only ask because I see hundreds of them laying about on our jobs... they get ripped off when the truck drivers
Don't know if there is a dot requirement on how close to the ground they have to be... but if not then I'd put them at least 7 inches above ground... loaded.
but you never know when it comes to changing laws
It helps to move the hangers away from the tires too. Learned a lot from farm field trucks backing up in soft ground.yeah, the only thing I remember was center of axle
Oh, wait... they got scraps from Ronsii.
