COOL!!! Is that a swb bed on an 8 lug 3.4 ton frame??? Do you have plans to use the bed on a project? If not. my opinion would be to see about selling the bed and taking the $$$ to build/ buy something a little more practical. How much can you really haul in a 6 ft bed??? I bought a triler like this a while back for the LWB bed for a project, pulled the good bed off, pulled the old beat up rusted out bed off the truck , then put the old beater on the old bed for a trailer.

Spray-Bomb · 08-28-2008, 09:10 PM

Sure looks like a shorty to me

I have a long bed trailer

ChevLoRay · 08-28-2008, 09:16 PM

Wow, a one-ton short bed trailer with "custom" lights. Whaddadeal.

It's actually a pretty nice bed, a few dents but NO rust. I'm not sure yet what I'm going to do with it.....

The lights were the clincher for me.......

killer71 · 08-28-2008, 09:46 PM

msgross · 08-28-2008, 10:05 PM

I'm struggling with that dilemma with mine. I'm not sure if I want to paint to match my dually or my '69 C-10. I have these visions of one day dragging it to a National board meet and actually camping in my matching truck bed trailer camper!

otsenre · 08-29-2008, 12:31 AM

I am a native New Mexican from Grant County, Any body else?

MickMc · 08-29-2008, 03:02 AM

Hey, that's my trailer, at least you could ask if you're going to borrow it.

The trailer was parked in my front yard (that is a new Mexico joke too)

Yes, I am a true native. Yes, I put green chile on everything including breakfast.

Mick

**special-K** · 08-29-2008, 05:35 AM

Go to Taos Pueblo if you need to know what a New Mexico native is

.Can I take a stab?The joke is you are using prime sheetmetal for a junk hauler?I wish I had that frame for the Stepside trailer I`ll be building for my shortbed K/30 Stepside.

**michael bustamante** · 08-29-2008, 10:17 AM

I just put a longbed stepside on an old frame from a 47 chevy. Good times!! youre not a chevy lovin New Mexican till you can claim you got a chevy bed trailer!! Gotta haul those green chile sacks in Somethin.
(dont you just love the smell of green chile roastin in august?)

MickMc · 08-29-2008, 10:42 AM

OH yea, the smell of green chiles roasting, that's one of the great smells in life.

Mick

**steelhorse** · 08-29-2008, 12:33 PM

And I thought that was a southern thing

thirdstreettito · 08-29-2008, 12:52 PM

There are so many parts trucks around here, I'll have a matching trailer for all my trucks...when I get some.

lytemup454 · 08-29-2008, 03:24 PM

hey Hart_Rod have you started to sey yes when they ask you if you want green chillies at MC D's. I lived and met my wife there a few years ago, everytime we are close we always stop in and buy fresh roasted green chillies!

ColoradoK5 · 08-29-2008, 05:37 PM

I am am from New Mexico also born and raised in Questa, NM. It's very small taown 20 miles north of Taos. I just bought a 8' trailer to do yard work with. I need me a set of those "custom" Lights to repersent NM. LOL I'll be down there in a few weeks to go hunting.

Gray Ghost · 08-29-2008, 09:51 PM

I started camping with my parents in NM when I was 11 months old up and we continued yearly until we moved to Alamogordo in 1971. I lived there until 1975 when I graduated HS. Moved to Las Cruces for college and lived there until 1977.

Favorite place in the world is Ruidoso...someday I hope to get back there for a week or so of camping in the Upper Canyon. Some of the absolute finest times in my life were in NM and a part of me will always regret leaving.

Raymo · 08-30-2008, 08:11 PM

I can see the "Sandia Mtns' " behind you. Miss em'! I'm from Santa Fe living in Wyoming , been away from home for over 30 yrs. Used to go to Alb. a lot. Green chile should be out about now.........ah, the smell..............!!!!!!

Raymo

**Hart_Rod** · 11-14-2008, 10:06 PM
