    This little trailer followed me home a couple weeks ago.
    From my research, it appears to be a 1976 U haul utility trailer. It is in amazing shape for its age. I am not sure the direction that I will go with it yet.
    The bed dimensions are 40" x 60" and the tongue says it is rated at #1500.
    Tailgate folds down.
    Other than surface rust, the trailer is as new, stored inside most of its life.
    I know that I will be changing the axle and hubs to accommodate 10" electric brakes and 5x5.5 bolt pattern wheels.

    What a find. I admire anything with such clean, simple, "classic" lines. Sure beats the snot out of the current crop of Chinese made folding utility trailers with tiny wheels and whatnot.

    I like the armored "roofs" for the taillights.
