In 1984 i built a 18ft trailer, using 3"X1.5" channel, i used 2"X.250 wall sq. tubing for the axles, i also used Rambler spindles, same as ford bolt circle making a 4" drop. I also welded in 1/8" diamond plate flooring accross the trailer. The traler weighs less than 1000 lbs. I have towed this trailer all over the US, from Bakersville to W.V., it has 14" wheels, but no brakes. I have had everthing from a 4200lb car to a 1200lb car on this trailer. When it's behind my Duelly crew cab i donot even know it's there, even if i have my 4,000lb vette on it. If anyone want's to copy it i'll post pics. It sets 10" off the ground at the rear and i can load a 3" clearance car no problems.The 1/8" diamond plate ties it together. Can you buy it NO, but i will send you pics. if you want to build one like it.
