Re: 60-66 Trailer made from a 60-66 bed

Finally got my trailer together.. Started out with a home built trailer that tilts and dressed it in a bunch of parts I acquired over the last year.. Great thing is that the home built trailer has a title and is registered for highway use.. I bought a short 1964 stepside bed for $100.. It was rough but had fenders and side rails I could use for now.. I then found a '57 GMC tailgate for $50 and a few months later a '55 GMC tailgate for $100.. a couple hours of sawzall work, some drilling and bolting and here's what I ended up with..A trailer with front gate and rear tail gate.. This allows me to haul 16 foot lumber, 13 foot guitars (which I also built and play) or use it to pick up loads of mulch or soil for the garden and landscaping. I am still looking for some cheap long bed steps to make it complete.. I may just make them out of 2x12 lumber? Anyway, Here it is..
