Truck bed - Trailer
Anyone have any experience building a trailer using a fleetside bed and the rear axle and frame?
Keeping the tongue and axle perpindicular is important. Anything else to worry about? Joe

I built one last summer out of a 57 F#rd short fleet. I used the tounge out of an old disc I have out here. The hitch is nice and long, so it pulls great and is easy to back up. I screwed it up though, I welded the tounge inside the frame rails and should have welded it to the bottom.....it looks like it's going downhill big time. That's about all I can tell you other than to make it stout.
