Haha thanks Bill, but I can't take all the credit. My dad is the welder, not me. So really, I was just helping out. But it did come out good. That 5-lug Ford axle won't stay under it, as I said we have an 8-lug 10,000 lb axle that we need to replace a spindle and bearings on, and then get wheels for, and that axle will go under the trailer. Our flatbed trailer is our car hauler, it's a 6-lug Chevy pattern, but we can't swap out hubs because has 2 torsion axles. Which we need for that trailer. This pickup bed is just for hauling short iron, but it's gonna get the 10,000 lb 8-lug axle to help with weight.
But, the flatbed trailer is also the best one we ever built. It's the back 16.5 feet of a semi trailer, and we completely re-enforced the frame and supporting, and made it a tilt bed.
