Here are a couple of pictures of my trailer being built.

Your F-250 looks a lot like mine, except mine is a 1999.

May I ask what your trailer cost. PM me if you don't want to reply in the open forum with cost figures.

Thanks,

The fender lights work great! They are rubber mounted and completely enclosed to keep road grime and water out. Here are a couple of pictures during construction.

Today I saw Dodge dually pulling a gooseneck loaded with fiberglass church steeples. That gooseneck had a high deck over the hitch portion of the trailer to haul smaller components. This seemed like a great idea for the purpose this trailer was being used for.

I think if I do get around to getting a trailer it will be a gooseneck, and I'll incorporate some of the ideas in this thread and one Redbug posted a while back on his custom trailer.

Lots of good ideas in both threads.

What idea did Redbug incorporate on his gooseneck? I must have missed that thread...I'll try searching for it.

Redbug's is a bumper pull; but it's part dump trailer too. He made removable sides for it that allow the rear 1/3 - 1/2 from what I could see to be used as a dump trailer. Otherwise it's an equipment hauler. Pretty slick setup.

I did an archive search and found Redbug's thread with pictures of his trailer. You're right - it's a slick trailer!
