The fellow lives 15 minutes from me, really nice guy. I spoke to him before the end of the auction and he agreed to store the trailer for me until the end of October (after I have closed on my house) in exchange for a little web design work.

I actually paid $5.50 for this great find!

Hmmm, a 4' wide trailer. I didn't realize you were going small again!!! So what are you going to build on top of that?

Actually the base of the bed was always going to be four feet. I was going to run a few wide crossmembers on top to get the width I want.
Whatever I build will have the wheels tucked up underneath the body.
I will be changing out the axle to dropped axle, which, for a 48" wide frame will have a 61" hub face to hub face measurement.
So when the tires are mounted the overall width will be 73". If I go for a body 6.5' wide, it will leave me 2.5" of clearance on with side.
So you see, it is perfect for my needs.
