Good score!
I've seen a lot of folks try to haul crewcabs only to find that their trailers were too short! Mine is a 22' dovetail and I have enough room to get the rear wheels on the flat part of the trailer. These long trucks are a beyotch to get balanced on the trailer right, you're either waaay tongue heavy or the rear is so heavy it lifts the rear wheels of the tow truck off the ground.
Good score, that's not much more than it's worth as scrap, I got $50 for a bare bed when I drug it across the scales last weekend.
