Re: A bed made into a trailer?

I have a long fleetside trailer as well.....it's not pretty though. Right now it's being used to store extra parts in. I've made quite a few of them in the past. They're pretty easy to do, although most I've seen the guys make them into an ugly conglomeration of crap welded together for the tongue.

If you do make one, just cut the frame up by the front cab mounts, cut a pie shape in the top and bottom frame flange just in front of the trail;ing arm crossmember, pull the frame sides together and weld on an A-frame coupler. Of course that's the simplified version, it takes some measuring and figuring to get it right, but it looks so much nicer than most I've seen. I can help you with the measurements if you need.
