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.

Nice job...well, it looks like you have a fall-back position...if the economy gets worse...

GREAT idea on the lights inside the fenders! I might have to do something similar.

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.
