LWB Fleetside Trailer
Anybody know the best way to do this? I have seen plenty of butchered ones but would like to see plans for a nice one. I've got an extra box, frame and rearend so...why not!

I think it is a great idea. I am planning on same, but I will build a square tube or c-channel frame and use trailer axles and springs instead of the truck stuff.

Whatever your design, the key is to make sure that the axle is squared up to the hitch. Actually, you want to make an isosceles triangle (two equal sides). Just measure from the center of the hubs/axle shafts to the hitch point, and make sure they're the same distance. Otherwise your trailer will "wag" while you're driving straight down the road. Good luck.
