Re: '92 GMC Southern Comfort Daily Driver

Got a few things done over the past few days!!!

Built a new pickup bed trailer out of that busted up '88 Chevy bed, and frame. Took out the stock rear end as a spare for my '92, that and the original truck springs are now under my dad's 2000 Z71. Anyway, we built and welded together a mini-frame, welded trailer spring shackles to that, and bolted in a trailer axle with a small 5-lug Ford pattern, and then welded that mini-frame to the chassis under the truck bed. And today we picked up an 8-lug 10,000 lb axle that needs a new spindle on one side, so we are going to fix that, cut it down a few inches so it isn't to wide, and find some 8-lug wheels. Also put stock tail-lights back in my '92. Anyway, here are the pics:



Stock tail lights:


Old tail lights out of my truck are in the trailer. Wheels under the trailer are 15 in. steel Ranger wheels, with 30x9.50/15 tires.

Always helps to add some strength. Center tongue, and a piece of angle iron for a cross-member.




Lol...it just looks like one long ass Chevy truck if you look at the right angle.



Let me know what you guys think.
