Best trailer for 67-72 SB??
What is everybody's personal opinion of the best trailer for hauling one of these trucks. If you have pics that would be great or just let me know the brand and lengths. I will need one once my truck is done so I can take it to shows. Thanks, Darin

I guess I didn't mention wheather I am looking for an enclosed trailer or open. At this point I want an open trailer but that could always change.

A buddy of mine has a 24' enclosed that I have used a few times. Not sure of the brand but I really like it. It's kind of nice being able to secure it by locking all the doors.

Trailer
You'll want at least an 8ft wide deck. Mines 8x16 and works just fine for a swb truck.

Bumper to bumper, you are looking at 16 ft., so I wouldn't get anything lower than 24 ft. enclosed. I have a 28 ft. so that I have room in front of the truck for an air matress. Just in case I don't want to buy a motel room. By the way, check around for a door on the left that you can open it and the drivers door to get out of the truck. That is the only problem that I have with an enclosed trailer.

That is why they make alarms for these trailers now.

This is a 20 ft, a LWB will fit in a 18 foot but I would recommend 20 ft just so you have some room to crawl up front to tie it down. There was lots of room still left in the trailer with this LWB in it. The sucky part about enclosed trailers is that you pretty much have to crawl on top of the truck to get to the front to tie it down and to get to the winch. You would have to be pretty skinny in order to squeeze between the truck and the trailer wall.

I recently bought an Innovator enclosed trailer. I love it. Very long term construction. Light weight and has a V nose. Powder coated frame, smooth fiberglass with gel coat sides, all outside parts are stainless steel or aluminum, finished inside. i had them put in the escape door and build it so the escape door is only 10 inches off the ground.

On the subject of trailers, I have a solid bed solid steel dual axle tilt bed beaver tail trailer that I am going to be selling.
This trailer is HEAVY DUTY, and has electric brakes on teh axles, but isn't wired for it. Completely flat bed all steel construction. I dont have pics but I used to use it to haul my enduro race acar on, sadly it just sits now. I'll get pics, but am wondering what trailers are going for? Thanks Chris
