Has anyone ever built a Toy Hauler?
 

So....I've built a few car trailers and they actually are pretty sturdy. NOW I wanna build a retro style toy hauler......what I need is specs on the steel support frames.

Anyone BTDT?

Something like this?:

Haven't built anything like that, but I've been tempted to send a truck to Hodges and have a flatbed put on: Hodges Custom Haulers

That's nice looking....but I wanna do a trailer....

Mike,

Google "how to build a trailer". You'll find something.

You maybe able to buy one new or certainly used cheaper than building one. Unless you can buy steel and other parts at a discount. I have tried to cost projects like that with no(my) labor cost it still more than I can buy materials. I have a fully equipped steel fab shop to use. I am seeing some nice toy haulers on craigslist. I still wonder how they can make them so cheap?

Well dad911, if you're going to show it, show it hauling a toy! Here are a few for you. Enjoy!;)

I think these things are sweet. Not cheap, but sweet.

rouxroux,
Cool pics. I'd like way to get 2 cars to the track, was thinking of an f350 or 450 with the Hodges bed, and using it to pull a trailer.

Tom....I think it's great to see the "BRE" name out there again!

dad911, I have a friend with a Hodges conversion. Sometimes you can find them used for not too much more than the price of a trailer!

A nice one just sold on Barrett-Jackson yesterday. Was Boyd's...

I think there's a few cool vintage ones for reasonable prices out there for sale now. I recall a Mercedes version somewhere. racingjunk.com maybe?

Mike,
