Dang, that's a heck of a trailer, Freddie !! What's behind the double doors ? Just work space or can it be used for overnight quarters ?


I just got back from off site storage with my '54 sedan I'm going to sell. No room at the inn here, so something has to give.

That hauler is Bruce Litton’s. Top Fuel driver and owner of Litton Trailer Sales right across from the entrance to Lucas Oil Raceway in Indy. Here it is with a cool 65 Nova on board.

TY! I have never weighed it empty but I would guess about 3,400. Not the lightest aluminum trailer, but I wanted structural integrity for the long haul. Alum-Line builds a lot of livestock trailers and their car trailers share that engineering.

Yes, 5' escape door, I can fully open any car door.

My truck and trailer never see winter!! Every year I cross my fingers that I can get home from MCACN without a storm, then insurance is pulled for several months.

It's just a standard 24 foot trailer inside, plus about 3 feet in the V. I love the doors, and they are on both sides of the trailer. If you had ramps you could drive a golf cart straight through it.

Ah! I wish I knew that at the time; I would have spoken to him.

I got my Haulmark from that location, back in 2001. Excellent to deal with.

Man I love the black Chaparral. I want one really bad for my square body dually. Have any more pics of it inside and out?

Thanks,

Here's a few basic pics of the trailer for you Bill....

If I recall, it weighed around 12K empty. Very heavy duty with great quality throughout.

I'll never own an all black truck and trailer combo again. 65' feet total length is way too much to wash!

You know how when you are at the races and you see these enclosed trailers and they are all banged up?

I vowed I would not be that guy. I was going to keep my trailer nice and straight, and in good shape overall.

I was able to keep my vow until we stopped for fuel on the way home. Pulling out of the Shell station in Perry Michigan I drug the back of it coming out onto the roadway.

I hadn't even made it home with my new trailer before I had to fix the back corner.

:(

Sidebar (continued):

So - I ended up making a little aluminum patch to repair the exterior of the corner, and made some skid plates underneath to keep it from happening again.

Then the fun started:

1st trip: Bradenton, Florida. A lady was not paying attention and ran into the back of the trailer while I was stopped at a toll booth. A piece of polished aluminum diamond plate covered that up.

Trip #2: Alabama. Caught a hail storm there. Managed to get the car in the trailer, and the Suburban under covered parking, but the roof, rear door and LH side of the trailer took a beating.

Tool box slides around inside and dings up the passenger door? Looks like a good place for a Flowmaster sticker.

Mowing and kick a rock into the side of the trailer sitting about 40 yards away? How about a vent cover goes there...

Blown tire wipes out the side? Time for a new fender and replace one piece of black aluminum panel.

This has got to stop. I'm running out of creative ideas to cover up the damage!

(lol)

That explains why ours are twins.
