HELP ME!
I am at the crossroads. I live in Washington and moving to Flordia in three monthes. I drive a '68 3/4 and have been using a '68 1/2 as a parts truck. I have used or sold most of the 1/2 ton. The frame and the bed is the only thing left. It is in good shape and I hate to see it go. I am thinking of making a trailer out of it. Is it worth draging it to Flordia? I think it will be handy to have around. The wife don't agree with me. Can you help me?

I think a "junk wagon" is handy,I made mine from a 68Ford. It doesnt get used much,but is a good "collect all" for the pcs that get cut up.....when it gets full,I run it down to the scrap yard or land fill if Im working on the house...........69

Doesn't Florida have a rust problem. If so, then that pickup bed will get top dollar and I think you'd be money a head, to make it a trailer. If not, shoot me an e-mail and I'll rescue it. lol

Well the decision has been made. Tomarrow the frame will be cut and welded, then it will be just about ready to go. Hey LeRoy, you may see this bed over in your area when I get it inspected next week. lol Having this trailer on the side of the house will make for a collection point for the crap that clutters my garrage and closets. Thanks for the feadback.
