Another Trailer Build "Daktari Style" on a budget

[BwardeAZ]

Well, after sleeping in the tent on top of the cruiser this summer I decided to get into a Trailer setup. I really couldn't find a M series in my budget so i set out to find a old toyota bed. Unfortunately I couldn't find one local in my price range so I settled on a Chevy LUV bed $200. It was quite an eye sore kinda looked like a leper on wheels. So paint was my first project, and after watching some Scooby doo safari with the kids I made up my mind what color. It has a long way to go, but it is on it's way.

Could someone please confirm If can just flip these? or do I need a kit?
It is next on my list. I relize I'll have to play with the brakes, but just need to know if it looks like an easy flip.

Cheers,
Brian

It's for sale like everything else.

Nobody likes my dream or painting Job
O' well it's my project so....

Thanks for the feed back on the spring over I've never done one, but I was thinking the same thing.
Can't I just swap sides and flip them 180 and get shorter shocks?

Thanks,
Brian

i don't see why you can't put the left on the top right and right on the left and shorter shocks.
