I wish it was. That's my neighbors truck. He is redoing it for a raffle. I'd love to take it out and play just once before it's gone.

Any pics of your truck with new front end?

Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I've got a thread in the new members section that has four or five pics in it. I would post a link to it but I've got a smart phone with a dumb operator.:morons:

How long is the box and how well to it handle the third axle being so short

It's been so long since I picked that up for a customer, I believe the box is 7' x 14' with 2' sides. And I can't really comment on the third axle on that length trailer because I didn't tow it more than around my place. I would guess like any tri axle trailer the only disadvantage would be eating the tires on the front and rear axles if your doing a lot of turning on pavement. But the advantage to a tri axle vs. a tandem dually setup is the height of the floor of the trailer. With tandem duals the floor of the trailer has to sit up over the tires and wheels instead of between them.

You can see my project a few posts back... I am on the fence about a third axle... I'd love to make it a lift axle is at all possible. Taking it one step at a time.. I should have the hinge biult this weekend, then I'll be working on the hydraulics. The axles are last on my list.

Couple crappy cell phone pics
The bench and small tool box are in the front of the trailer

Air Compressor , welder , and torch

500gl fuel tank sits over the axles with about 36" of storage space between the fuel tank and rear door

I need to make a few more adjustments and put some more tools in it, but I'm pretty happy with it so far.

Like I said that is an awesome I idea that I might have to steal LOL especially since I can pic up a decent used one for cheep and make it what I want LOL
