Anyone ever convert a ramp truck to an enclosed hauler? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

for how tall the enclosed cabin would need to be, it would be a pretty big monstrosity on top of that ramp bed... I wouldn't do it, but I also LOVE the look of a classic ramp truck.
You also remove the cool ability to have a flatbed truck at your disposal for side-loading things like engines or transmissions at will...

This is mine.
I did put the golf cart on it last year and go to our local club meet with it.

I agree, it would be to tall if I wanted it to fit trucks but I was thinking of something low profile for cars. The reason I didn't buy an enclosed trailer is that it wouldn't fit any of my lifted trucks. I have been using my trailer as a flatbed to haul lumber and a new kitchen as well as my trucks.

It sucks not being able to hear! LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB! After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
