s-10 truck bed for Chassis???

[cityspokes]

I'm intrigued with the Tear Drop, as I no longer like sleeping on the COLD HARD ground! I've found an Old s-10 or s-15 truck bed that has been made into a trailer, the body is shot, no working lights, Tires are in a sorry state, the tail gate doesn't even work, basically it's just a foundation for a Tear Drop?? I'm also considering making the trailer multi-purpose, by making it a flat-bed trailer with a modular Tear-Drop whjich would be removable...............any thoughts??? All info I'm sure will be of great help. Thanks Harry

Someone asked this same question a while back. The short answer was, "it will be more trouble than starting from scratch" Your tear will be really high off the ground. Plus, The frame isn't flat there is a hump where the axle is.

....can be done but think weightweightweightweightweight...you have way more weight and framing than you need(think ant and sledge hammer)...one of the nice things about tds is their lightweight and it's effect on gas mileage...take the S10 and sell or junk it and build a custom frame or buy a bolt together...you'll be happy you did...uh, did I say anything about weight.........

Thanks folks for the info, and everything mentioned makes Perfect sense, I'll just wait till I can either buy new, or find something I can feasibly fabricate within my budget, Thanks Harry (as far a the truck bed frame....... !!
