1850L trailer

[Justinside]

Hey guys

I am finishing my first truck, and need to replace the rear bumper, and am having trouble finding one so I thought I would make one from Aluminum and the the thought came to me, how could I make a trailer to pull behind it.

So I am looking for ideas, for the trailer, and what I need to do to the truck so it can tow.

For the trailer, I was thinking of making something with another container.

Thanks for all your help in advance.

What kind of truck? Body type?
PMD makes a very nice pintle type hitch, for a truck to tow a trailer.

Trailer could be pup type, which has weight on the pintle hitch.
Or it could be a pull type trailer with all weight on it's own axles, and a pintle hitch just tows it.

I think I want the kind on its own axle. Thanks for the Pintle info, that is what I was thinking, I just need to come up with some plans to make the trailer.

Thanks

Freddy read it again I think he means that he wants the traller axles to carry most of the weight with veary little toung weight.
