I"ve made a few trailers from pickups, usefull around farm. Remove brake shoes and hardware prevents a locked wheel on road incident-BTDT. Long tongues mean stable on highway. 6 bolt chev axles can take Japanese 6 bolt wheels. Little Maxda/Ranger bed with topper made good seed corn and fertilizer hauler- bags of seed on right side, starter fertilizer on left side when geting seed, etc no need to unload picup to use for something else, take trailer to field to load planter and can leave overnight witout worry about rain. Dodge D200 box hauls hay, wood, whatever. Most of litle box trailers sold of at brohers estate sale 3 years back, one sister says she sees couple of them on road yet and oher sister wishes she"d bid on the long tongue one for hay haulig at high speed on highway. Cut frame rails about firwall area, notch and heat sides, bend inward to V, short or long 3inch sqaure tube for coupler/hitch alighn and clamp, adjust then spot weld, double check then final weld. Side rail straight top and bottom cuts bend a bit when bending side in so you have 2 lap weld surfaces instead of cutting V notch- lots less gussetting needed to fill oversize V notch cut. Scrapped pickup could be made into trailer for about $50.00 parts, welding supplies was about what I came up with for rough cost. Auction bids were $150.00 to $250.00 and that got something that could haul twice as much as a $495.00 Menards special. No problem with license plate in wisconsin-up to 3000 pounds no brakes or plate required. Iowa had no problem as farm trailers, personel use. RN

Today's Featured Article - The Nuts and Bolts of Fasteners - Part 2 - by Curtis Von Fange. In our previous article we discussed capscrews, bolts, and nuts along with their relative hardness and thread sizes. In this segment we will finish up on our fasteners and then work with ways to keep them from loosening up in the field. Capscrews, bolts and nuts are not the only means of holding two parts together. When dealing with thinner metals like sheet tin, a long bolt and ... [Read Article]
