Another truck bed trailer?

Started building a truck bed trailer for my cherokee a few months ago. I've been so busy using it that I haven't had a chance to finish it. It has been great for hauling rocks, mulch, lumber, etc... but didn't work out too well as a camper as originally planned.

Picked this up last weekend with the intentions of building another:

I'm a bit torn on what to do with it. When I bought it I was told it had a blown head gasket and the brakes were shot. It turned out that the thermostat was sticking and the brakes were just rusted from sitting for so long. I ended up driving the truck home and it ran great.

I don't need another truck, and the insurance, license, maintnance, etc... that go along with it. Is this one too nice to cut up?

I'm going to try selling it for a week or two, if I don't find a buyer then it is getting chopped.

The inside has plenty of room for storage up front, some fold down bunks on the sides, and standing room in the middle.

There is no lack of storage space on the sides:

It wouldn't take much work to make a decent trailer out of it. Being fiberglass and aluminum would keep the weight down.
