So, I bought a parts truck for my 80. I then had a revelation, I could make a trailer out of it! I am currently in the process of stripping it clean from all the excess stuff that isn't needed in a trailer. This will be an ongoing thread, and I will post pictures from time to time as I go along. I saw a picture of a finished product somewhere, although only from the back.
My plan is to cut it at the B pillars and use the metal from the hood to somehow seal off the front of the trailer.
Questions:
1) What is the gauge of steel in the frame? I am wondering if my welder is up to the task.
2) Has anyone on here done this before, and what advice do you have for me?
3) After it's stripped out, with all the hardware, interior and everything but the original rear axle and suspension removed, what kind of weight am I looking at?
4) What kind of pictures do you guys want to see?
