I picked this up last summer but now that I totaled the runner I don't think the new Subaru will pull it. I'd let it go for $350.

I'll take it!

Datsuns are cool. I think I could make that trailer work nicely. PM sent.

Looks like an old Datsun bed.

Agreed...The side-marker light location as well as the lack of molding channel on lower third of the bed make me believe it's from a 70's Datsun as well.

Looking forward to seeing what you come up with!

Hey ryan, does that lug pattern match the runner?

I like the idea of keeping the stock fuel tank in there so I can have an extra 10-15 gal of fuel.

this one looks pretty slick.

I'm looking for a '72-83 toyota, datsun, or Ford Courier pickup bed. 2wd or 4wd. Let me know if you've got one. Even if it's rusty, or you just have the top bed rails with hooks, let me know.

 

[CobraNutt]

Did you pass on the Datsun trailer Ryan had?

Sent from my mystical handheld gizmo.

I'm going to pick it up this weekend.

Steve. The fuel tank is gone. I'm sure you could get one to mount in there though. The fuel door opens but the filler hose is gone too.

 

[sixstringsteve]

No worries. It'll be great for my needs.

In my searches I found this beauty. A bit bigger than what I want, but I thought I'd throw it up here for you in case someone else could benefit from it.

...And in all my driveshaft alternator research I came across this pic, which is too cool not to share. It blows my simple mind to try to think of leaf springs this way. Frame-under axle... Would that mean it's still sprung under?

I've seen a magazine feature of that car, IIRC it's a Dodge and it's insane... the frame was chopped and both ends were flipped upside down, while the center of the frame was left right side up!! :freak:

If you get this one I could pick it up and bring it to you next week. I'll be coming down that way.

Thanks for the offer ID Bronco! I'm going to get Jeepj667's datsun trailer. If that falls through (unlikely) I'll let you know.

Just happened to see this yesterday. Wish I would have seen it last week before I built a flatbed on my '76 pickup

 

[Kevin B.]

Oh dear, and it's a long bed. And KSL is down for me right now.

Anybody have a compact long bed shell kicking around?

 

[Kevin B.]

Are they? Good to know, I've only been watching the ads for trailer stuff for a couple days.

Steve, he posted that trailer to your thread, I'll wait for you to pass before I call the guy. Lemme know.

 

[sixstringsteve]

Kev, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Go ahead, I'm going to pick up the datsun one.

Kev, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

Rude.

Ive got a small trailer ive been debating on building up and i see a ton of great info here!!! Especially that $115 axle!! My biggest issue is ride height! I think it would get high centered going over snow drifts from my shovel when cleaning out the driveway!
