There really is no purpose other than I think it looks better. The stock truck kinda looks like it has a set back axle which I never cared for.

I've been trying to get a trailer put together and wanted to show everybody. I am starting with a flat bed as a donor. Then I had the guys at work shear me up some aluminum, 1/8 inch for the top and bottom and 20ga pre-painted white for the sides. I also got 8 of the little round magnet cups to use for my "air bags". Angle, channel, springs, and 6-32 machine screws all came from the hardware store.

First some mock-up pics to show what I'm going for.




Here is all my pieces parts.








This is the front.


Here is the back with the D.O.T. bumper.










That's what I've got so far. I'm planning on getting some stainless for the front and the doors. I also was going to use black balloons to cover the springs so they look like air bags.

Thanks, Mike
