Ol’ Bob And His T-Bucket Pt. 1

Reduced Height Cargo Trailer - 7x12

This 7x12TA Reduced Height Cargo Trailer has a story. The story of Ol Bob & His Prized T-Bucket. Ol Bob contacted us back years ago about building him a customized cargo trailer. He needed a trailer that would both, house his prized T-Bucket and also tuck nicely into his garage as required in his  neighborhood. Well, we built it and Ol Bob has been sending us pictures every since.

Ol Bob had very specific dimensions that he wanted implemented into his 7×12 Tandem Axle. As a retired engineer details were very important to Ol Bob.

Ol Bob sent us his drawings and we sent back pictures to Ol Bob. Needless to say, Ol Bob had been thinking about this for a while. 

The Moment Of Truth

Reduced Height Cargo Trailer

We Got It Built & Ol Bob Came To Get It. This was the moment we knew we got it right. Ol Bob headed back to Arizona to start retro-fitting. He left happy.

Like A Bug In A Rug

Man were we ever happy when we got this picture and a message from Ol Bob saying it was a perfect fit. “Like a bug in a rug” said Ol Bob

Ol Bob had big plans for his new trailer. The retired engineer wasn’t ready to hang up his toolbelt just yet…..
