That is an awesome score. I have always loved seeing what people do with these utility bodies.

Do you realize it's a quarter to 3 AM and I'm reading this thread? Stop the cruelty! I guess only few people get this. Some day my friend I'll build one, some day.

Hahaha... I feel your pain, I spent countless hours over several months time looking for a utility bed, even into the next state. Then there's the ideas for the pull out galley, and do you use an off the shelf ladder rack for the RTT or custom build to conserve height. Wait till you get to the options for axles, it just goes on and on.

I have thought about using a utility bed as a starting point for a trailer build as well. Do you know how heavy the utility bed is?

Sadly I had to back burner this project, my wish list items for the chassis are blowing out my current budget. So for now I've picked up a ranger bed with shell that's already been made into a trailer.

I’ve been working on her when I can, she’s come a long way but there’s still much to be done.
