    IF you go for a dump trailer. Mau I sugest a goosneck variety. Yes you loose the bes when your hauling the trailer but it just pulls and turns so much nicer. Not to mention it puts the weight over the axle instead of on the tail end of the truck.

    Your absoloutly right part - time - scrapper you cant beat how well a gooseneck handles a load with out impacting the tow vehicle. My next trailer build is going to be a gooseneck, can hardly wait for warmer weather so that I can start dismantling that old bus to get the frame rails.

    I almost have the buss emptied out, been trying to sell the engine and transmission so far no takers.

    As this build progresses I will post onto the forum my progress along with where my materials and parts came from.
