shoopdog Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 Here’s my build of the 36’ version of the AMT kit. Nice kit but much caution needs to be taken assembling the side panels. I would like to thank Gareth on the heads up tips for proper assembly. I ended up completely taping everything together and marking the side panels before final assembly. All in all not a bad kit. I don’t see why AMT couldn’t have included one extra tire for the spare carrier. Hopefully soon it will find a permanent home behind my White-Freightliner that’s in my stash.

leafsprings Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 (edited) Nice clean build! I'm assuming it's an older trailer from the 60's, probably would look even better behind an older era no frills fleet tractor!

Force Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 It looks like the old IMC/Lindberg trailer issued by AMT recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug 1061 Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 That turned out nice. I might have to pick one of these up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kilrathy10 Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 (edited) Good looking trailer... I like it... I have two of these in my stash... I only bought them because they were on sale, but your build makes me want to throw one of these things together... I did open one up to see what was inside, so I was thinking I could make it as long as I wanted with 2 kits... The decals are what I really like...But I was just throwing around a few ideas... I really like your version, though... Very nice work... Great job, Man.... Edited June 21, 2021 by kilrathy10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim B Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Looks nice, Keith. I have one of these in the stash as well. Thinking of making it the 18' P&D trailer for the Dodge L700 as I'm not sure the L700 could actually pull a 36' trailer let alone stop with it!

doorsovdoon Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 Looks amazing, and you got the side panels in the right place unlike mine! It is a great trailer, I too don't know why they didn't include a spare tyre in there and yeah, those instructions! Glad I could help, it turned out looking perfect.

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I never realized that these old IMC trailers were 36’. I guess that I learned something. You sure did a great job on this one! It looks great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure of what GVW package the L 700 kit represents, but, the heavy duty 27.5K version with the 413 and 11k front and 18.5K rear axles with full air is rated for 50K combined weight. I think your good to go! Edited July 25, 2021 by leafsprings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
