dubie · 10-20-2003, 03:05 PM

this is what is left after I let the wife go at it for 3 hours

dubie · 10-20-2003, 03:06 PM

pile of parts

dubie · 10-20-2003, 03:08 PM

anyone need a 5 lug, disc set up? I'm going to cut this into a trailer and the front end is gonna be left over. If anyone wants it, make me an offer

Porkchop · 10-20-2003, 05:05 PM

I would love to have the front disc setup, but your too far away.

dubie · 10-20-2003, 05:07 PM

yeah, i had a feeling that was going to be the first answer i got

Cat Fuzz · 10-20-2003, 07:43 PM

That would be sweet to build a truck bed trailer that totally matches the truck.

Blue Beard · 10-20-2003, 07:56 PM

I'd hate to see your wife get mad at you....

*Gee_Emm* · 10-20-2003, 08:35 PM

Are you gonna use the grill and front bumper?

teeitup · 10-20-2003, 09:12 PM

That looks like most of mine when I get done with them!!

*Slams_58* · 10-20-2003, 09:25 PM

the grill and bumper are toast, so we are scrapping them

*Gee_Emm* · 10-20-2003, 09:39 PM

How bout the turn signal lenses

**Canadian694x4** · 10-20-2003, 10:02 PM

I wish I could get my hands on a part truck...trailer idea is cool. There is actually quite a few 67-72 truck frame & bed trailers in my area...

*Slams_58* · 10-21-2003, 08:14 PM

both lenses are cracked i believe, I'll check tomorrow

I have a 71 longbed trailer that I pull behind my 71 Longhorn. Amazing how many people notice that.

GMC69 · 10-22-2003, 12:11 AM

3 hours EH!, Hmmmm

I like the idea of making a trailer with the box. I might just have to do that if I end up getting another truck to complete mine.

It would be another longbox towing a longbox trailer.

Even though I have a sweet trailer right now that is not "that" heavy and tows so nice you forget you are towing a trailer behind you, except when it is loaded and heavier than the vehicle that is towing it, hehe.

I have seen the trailers mad from boxes to match, but do you use the rear end as is, or is here some way to get rid of the pumpkin. It is sweet looking to see both, finished the same, same wheels and all.
