I think about the same thing ,, right now I doing a 70 , using a 77 as parts.
That trailer there would have way to much tongue weight, a guy needs to move the axle up..
Picture this one.. in about 74 my room mate and I made a camper shell out of a 57 Bus, cut at the belt line and behind the doors. This went on a 55 F 150 all painted the same color, from the rear it looked like a Bus with big ass tires and Fenders.
it was funny as hell watching the people that could not stand having a volkswagen Bus in front of them. They'd do 100 mph to pass, then about shit finding out it wasn't a Bus. |

It's not in a junkyard, how is it a waste? You don't know the story behind that trailer, maybe the owner found two Buses that had been slammed in the front and made a trailer out of it. I like it myself. |

| Im just saying if someone found a bus and did that, why would you make into a trailer when you could make it into what it was made for? |

maybe it was not possible to restore it. extremely bad rust issues perhaps.

It looked like it was set up for a sweet camping trailer.

it took a 2nd look to really focus on it's a bay rear section with a spilt on the front ( I have both to use as donors or a bay on the front )
After thinking about this for a day, you could make a damn nice little camper.. I have seem these on the road , but never inside.. at one time you would see a few, like ford or chevy panels, towing trailer made from the same year panel |
