On a completely different note, have you updated the Falcon, Ryan?

Nope, still driving my EF XR6. Falcon in the background shows my other halfs BA wagon.
And on a completely different note I'm no longer building the I6 engine within Ford, I'm now building the supercharged V8 engine. Good times ahead.

I did notice that the front wheel are not connected to the a-frame and cannot steer. Or is there a turntable under there?

The fourth photo at the top of this thread shows a round channel under the deck. As well, the A frame attaches to the same hanger bracket that the front spring eye attaches to. My guess is we are looking at a front truck with a turntable to the main frame of the trailer.

As to the purpose of the trailer, those solid wheels would preclude anything but warehouse or paved ground use. Anyone who has tried to tow a carrier without tracks can tell you about the lack of floatation that size of solid wheel provides on soft ground. I recall tearing the heck out of my front lawn trying to move a carrier without track across it. Thought the better half was going to kill me....luckily she did not really care for lawns either.

Yes, front is fully steerable with 'A' frame to a turntable. Still tows well, had it behind my Falcon the other day, although at a very slow pace as I didn't want it going through my boot.
