Re: Who has them (trailers)
A complete truck weighs about 4000lbs, most of that is cab forward. My guess would be about 800-1000lbs as pictured.

Re: Who has them (trailers)
I did that very thing with an old 54 model truck frame and bed , works good . I like the grille swap , How do you like the way the headlights work over the original headlights

Still most of that in the front. Bed 300-400lbs frame and suspension 300-400lbs rear end 200+lbs? 400+400+200=1000lbs? Thats what Im guessing the trailer weighs.
