This weekend, we cut up a 2 wheel drive 1st gen I have. I am using the frame and the bed to make a trailer to pull behind my 4WD 1st gen.

Here are a couple pictures from this weekend. I am the guy with the beard and the iron cross t-shirt on.






In the background you can see the truck I have been working on for the last couple months. Notice the stack with the clanker coming through the camper shell.

I have been mainly focused on doing the mechanical stuff. The cosmetics (body work and paint) will come towards the end.

It's gonna be a pretty cool setup, having a 1st gen bed as a trailer. I plan on lifting the trailer to match the height of the truck, using the same tires and wheels, and then painting the trailer to match the truck. I am also going to install a construction site type locking tool box and a spare tire carrier in front of the bed of the trailer.

Dude, you murdered that thing...The cab looked real good.. You would get slapped if you did that up here in the north country.. Rust free cabs are hard to come buy!! The box looks perfect too

Don't take it to heart, Im just one of those guys that wishes he could save all the first gen's!!

You gents have any pics of the converted trailers????

yeah, I had a hard time starting the cutting....but the thing is, here is california, all the trucks are rust free, and I really wanted to make a trailer to match my truck.

I only got 36.60 for the steel from the cab and front part of the frame.
