Watching me restore the Bantam trailer fanned an already-intense interest in things that “hitch together” in my son. He has one of those Crazy Koop cars and a similar mini-van, and is constantly lashing them together with neckties from the dress-up box and pretending to tow a trailer. He also has a red PowerWheels Jeep that he’s crazy to pull something with.
So I decided it was time for him to have a more “real” trailer to play with. I made this up as a Christmas present for him. The box is a plastic drawer from a medical supply cabinet.
The wheels are leftovers from an air compressor I recently bought. The frame is 3/4” square tubing, the fenders are sheet metal, and the taillights are truck marking lights.
The boys and their toys…
