Ok my first day of work. I only have hand tools and the sweat of my back for this job. I know its going to be some work haha.
Well at the close of day on I had to do some things that were stupid and probly dangerous! But sometimes you have to get it done.
Four hours a wrench, grinder, air drill and a big **** pry bar.... =
1.trailer taken appart and cut down.
2.Deuce bed is off.
3.All of the rivets on one side of the truck are out.!
I really hated to take apart that trailer, I picked it up for 220.00 at the base, it had zero rust not even any on the bolts I took out. What a shame.

Some of these pics remind me of what not to do lol, and that trailer took all I had to pick up from the front, very heavy.

Ah cool a local person come by anytime just shoot me a PM. Good question about the beds. The trailer bed was the hardest to get off. The way its brackets are it can't just slide off. So I tiped it up and basicly fliped it off the side easier said than done with no help. The trucks bed was easy just unbolt removes the mud flaps and a large tree and a chain will slide it right off haha. Yes it was a bit barbaric but it worked!
The real question is how I'm going to put the bed on haha...

Hey that works. I used a chain hoist for the trailer bed. Strapped it to a high oak branch and hoisted that baby off. If you've got a high oak branch I bet my friend that let me borrow the hoist would also loan it to you.....IF you let us come and help :)

So, tell me about the trailer frame. Keeping it? Gonna put it on the deuce frame?
