I would love to find a Light weight open Model T car trailer. My 27 Roadster then I could be easy to tow. I am not a welder so For me to make one would be hard. Any of you ever made one?

I just purchased a 16 ft tandem axle flat trailer with a beaver tail to haul my T and/or A around. My tow vehicle is an older Chevy 1500 Silverado Z71 4x4 off road extended cab.

It took me over 2 years to find a trailer in good condition that I could afford.
I checked Craig's list etc. and got lucky by keeping my eyes open.

A small construction company near my work put it near the end of their driveway with a hardly visible For Sale sign. After a couple weeks I finally stopped to see it.

It was taking up room in their yard and they just wanted it out of the way.
I got it for an amazingly low price because they didn't want to be bothered with the trouble of advertising it.

It is a bit heavier than I was considering (10,000 GVW) but has brakes on both axles, built in ramps, and a spare tire.

The trailer looks interesting. I would be concerned about balance and the trailer not being level. You could fix the level but don’t know how to deal with the balance.

I prefer trailers with 4 wheels and brakes, but the two channels for the wheels look interesting.
