Popular Post Underdog Posted October 10, 2016 Popular Post Share Posted October 10, 2016 I've been looking for quite a while for a vintage trailer suitable to be dragged around by my F model. The right one found me last weekend. Went 50 miles to Lenhartsville, PA to pick it up Saturday. 1949 freuhauf stainless 32'. Decent roadworthy condition with a title! It will look a whole lot better than my little tent camper I've been taking around to shows. Plan to create camping space in the freuhauf. 15 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47207-new-wagon/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Yes I bought it from Gerald Peters. He only bought it last year at Sid German's auction. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47207-new-wagon/#findComment-348292 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I was time warping on the way home! Took two lane old 22 instead of I-78, dragging up the hills, line of cars behind choking on my smoke! 3 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47207-new-wagon/#findComment-348294 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Underdog Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 That will give the F model a little traction on the rear wheels! It should help in the snow! It certainly helped the ride quality! 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47207-new-wagon/#findComment-348295 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superdog Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Really looks good. Torsion bar suspension? Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47207-new-wagon/#findComment-348297 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underdog Posted October 10, 2016 Author Share Posted October 10, 2016 Really looks good. Torsion bar suspension? This one has 4- leaf springs, but the seller has another one for sale with torsion bar, a much nicer insulated reefer for $3800. More than I care to spend right now.

Mike Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 I like it. Looks like it belongs with that truck. It is rare to find one in that good of shape especially with good tires and brakes, ready to go.

It is rare to find one in that good of shape especially with good tires and brakes, ready to go. Thanks, Mike. I agree it fits the look of the truck, what I was searching for. Not perfect, but the best I have seen for the money. Tires and brakes need some attention, but good enough for the 50 mile trip home. One axle was replaced at some point, it has 20 inch hubs on rear axle, and 22 inch hubs on front. But all the original axle parts, hubs and 5 good spare tires and rims came with the deal. I just have to sort through and figure out what I can use. All the spare parts are for the 22 inch rubber. I will be pulling the bearings apart for inspection anyway. Just what I need, another project for winter! Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/47207-new-wagon/#findComment-348332 Share on other sites More sharing options...
