All

Can anyone please direct me to/or provide photos of the rear end (car bar/under-run bar and mud gard set up) for a 1960'70's McGrath wide spread axle trailer?

About 2 years ago (wild guess) someone provide a running photographic progress of a full refurb of such a trailer. However - I dont recall a name, which section it appeared in or much else about it - other than it was a good job and a great photo coverage.

My main interest is in the rear eand - like the mud gards and the carbar/under run bar design. The other reason is to assist a local Townsville guy who is building a large collection of restored gear - and he has just purchased a trailer that I located for him.

When I read more about posting photos on the (now not so new) Forum format. Like do we still have to go thru photobucket (or similar) or do we use the 'attachment box' at the bottom of each section?

If anyone on the Forum is ever visiting Townsville - let me know and I will try to get you access to his collection.

Thanks in advance

Here are some photos of the McGrath which is about to under go a complete resto. I expect it will finish up looking like this mans other work to-date. While his collection is probably around 30 odd vehicles and machinery - in particular is the 32foot strap Freighter and the MK1 Big A
