Teardrop Finally Done
I've been building this teardrop for awhile to pull behind the 55, but now it looks like we won't have much time to use it so I am going to sell it.

Nice combination. Looks like a nice little trailer. Sorry to hear you're not going to be able to enjoy it.

It looks like you have an earlier bed on your truck. I like it. Those earlier fenders seem to balance out the front end heavy look of the 53-56 trucks. It's a beautiful truck!

Nice! I am in the planning stage of building a teardrop also. Was going to start this winter but ended up remodeling the bathroom for the wife instead. Hope to get started once the weather gets better.

A tear drop will look nice behind your 54. Then you and Dennis will almost be twins.

You have a hitch on your truck now?

Not yet but have been researching them.

Seeing Dennis's teardrop at Truckstop got me looking at them.

That's a nice looking trailer. Any idea how much it weighs empty?
