    That 2nd one is a gold mine. I found my mini-truck fiberglass for about $400. Since then, have been searching for a buddy. Not many fiberglass one out there. If the forward compartment goes all the way thru from left to right (rather than a full bed), someone should really get it. Thats prime area (after some mods) for storing the 'stuff' you usually put in rear of car.

    The one thing I'd suggest confirming is the width. Some utility beds actually exceeded the width of the truck doors (side to side), and when you make a trailer out of them they are too wide to track anything other than a full-size vehicle - IMO. This one does not appear to be the wide body.

    If I was closer I would scoop that fiberglass model up and place it on my M101a2 frame.
    painted red, polished the diamond plate, textured GM flares matching wheels and a RTT.

    Hurry up so I don't make the trip.

    I was out all weekend and never even called the guy. Knew I wouldn't be able to make it over there and at that price it'd be gone in a sec. Oh well, keep on looking I guess

    No more truck-bed trailers out there? Come on!

    This is my latest addition to my trailer. I'll have to get more pictures this week or weekend.

    Here's my new project. A 1981 Toyota long bed I found on CL here in Atlanta. Already converted - apparently years ago. Lots of clean up going on, removed an old broken camper shell, plywood cabinets, astroturf, etc. Fixed some dents and dings on the body. Swapped out 23" tires for some 30" Goodyear Wranglers. Making a new wiring harness and about ready for black paint to match my 100-series TLC. Will be adding a rack for kayaks, rod holders, tool box, D-ring tiedowns in bed, propane tank mount, and possibly a water tank under the bed.

    Thinking of picking up this trailer...ImageUploadedByTapatalk1354079968.069920.jpg

    I would need to lengthen the tongue, it has a real one ton trailer axle, comes with the cargo net. Thoughts?

    I like it !
    Looks like a good starting point for a build.
    Lengthen the tongue and you are good to go.
    Sale depends on the price?

    The price is right. But I have four kids and it is almost Christmas. So funds are low. Have a little bit of a Christmas bonus coming my way, but not for another couple of weeks. So I have to see of I can work something out. If I get it, it will be a mild build designed to get all the crap you take camping when you have kids and a wife, Especially when the wife did not grow up camping, To base camp, so it will be on forest service roads and the like most of the time. Might do a little firewood hauling duty next year as well, but mostly, it will store camp stuff.
