Junkyard for the bed and axle (you could also get the axle from northern tool) and craigslist for the cap. That's what I would do.

Where are you, and what size truck do you want the trailer to be from? There are often truck bed trailers on craigslist for about $300-$400. There is at least one for sale right now around New Jersey with a cap included.

ETA: I see you are around Philly...are you interested in a M416 that needs some work? I have one I'm getting ready to sell.

Try this...

Download Mozilla Firefox (free)

Go to crazedlist.org

Disable referers like they ask (be VERY careful here)

Decide how far you want to travel, and check the boxes for those areas

Save search settings

And have at it!

Don't forget to go all the way back the 45 days when searching...the oldest ads are most likely to come down in price!

Pick request: truck bed trailers

I was considering starting my own thread about truck bed trailers. My granddad wants to give me his old one, but its rusted crazy. I was about to post a pic request of truck bed trailer builds, because I’m thinking about building my own.

The "C.U.T." (Cheep Utility Trailer) that a friend & I built from essentially scrap parts.

Pic is huge so I left it as a url.
Frame is cut and extended 2WD IH 3/4t pick-up that was given to my friend as a whole truck, springs from same. Bed is a CUCV bed, also given to us. Axle is a custom using early 19 spline Dana 60 outers (diff casting and axle shafts cut off) and a piece of large OD steel tube left over from a Demo Derby car. Axle holds about 3 gallons of gear lube. Shocks are Monroe Circle track racing medium/mediums.
Trailer has been stability tested to 85 mph on a San Felipe run.
