60-66 truck bed trailer - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jdl71 · 10-22-2015, 09:40 PM

Picked this up for $100 the other day. Not bad, huh?

jdl71 · 10-22-2015, 09:44 PM

So seriously, I really did buy that for $100. But only because I have a buddy who is a Ford guy and had this he was using to haul firewood:

jdl71 · 10-22-2015, 09:46 PM

A little persuasion, a little boot, and we both had what we wanted. This bed is actually in great shape and the same color as my truck.

Lugnutz65 · 10-22-2015, 09:50 PM

Good deal. There is a thread on here that has pics of others like yours.

jdl71 · 10-22-2015, 10:36 PM

Thanks, I will look for that.

Cool trailer! I made the mistake of selling mine.

One of us is color blind : )

jdl71 · 10-23-2015, 01:36 PM

It's the same color as my 64, the truck in my avatar.

I'm supposed pick up a trailer like this tomorrow morning (the Chevy one not F*rd), and this thread just makes me that much more excited! That bed is in beautiful shape. I dig the color too.

jdl71 · 10-23-2015, 06:36 PM

Yes, your post is what prompted me to share mine. Looking forward to pics when you get it home.

Nice find : ) SWB conversion or keep as trailer?

jdl71 · 10-23-2015, 08:37 PM

I may use the bed on my '64, but if I do I will put the bed from my 63 on there and keep it as a trailer.

**Clyde65** · 10-23-2015, 10:09 PM

I built one as well. Found better bed sides for my truck and made me a swb trailer

Rust-O-Matic · 10-26-2015, 05:59 PM

Here's mine!

jdl71 · 10-26-2015, 09:07 PM

Cool. I posted in your thread also, looks good. Seems like the best beds are all on trailers, lol. Did you get a title with it?

TJ's Chevy · 10-26-2015, 10:42 PM

I need to get me a trailer. lol

Rust-O-Matic · 10-27-2015, 09:35 AM

Nope, sadly no title with it, but I don't think it would be too hard to obtain one if I decide to license it for highway use. I'll probably use it behind the tractor around the house/acreage for now, and fix it up as I go. Aside from the floor being rotted out, and a little rust in the typical places, it seems really solid and has surprisingly few dents in the panels. Even has a new coupler on the tongue.

jdl71 · 10-27-2015, 08:36 PM

From what I read, it's not a big deal. You basically take it to a MVI station, they verify its a homemade trailer, then go to DOR and they give you a VIN plate to attach to it. Mine is titled as a 2012 homemade trailer.
