Extreme trailer makeover

 Here's a project I did many years ago to my trailer that had been sitting out in the weather for years.  I decided to extend the 12 foot long bed by four feet.  After reading much on the subject I extended the front by two feet and then extended the rear by two feet with a slight angle towards the ground, much like a car hauler. 

 With its new length at 16 feet of decking I should have no problem carrying a full size 1950's junk wagon back to my shop.  I did all my calculations based on the size and weight of a 1957 Chevy. That's my father's old work jeep on the trailer.

The rotted deck removed and the framing added two feet each way.  Underneath storage for the ramps were added on each side below the deck instead of the previously built rear mounted flip down style when used as a construction trailer.

I finally got around to painting and pin stripping it a few years ago



ready for hauling!
