Use Ford Twin I beams to build a trailer?

Posted by Boyd on July 21, 2004 at 00:04:41 from (12.73.126.202):

I own 5- 80s F150 2 wheel drives. I am going
to strip 3 or 4 of them for spare parts to keep
on hand. I'm thinking of saving the front "I"
beam suspensions from them to make a
trailer from scratch for my lawn service. I was
planning on using "U" bolts to bolt leaf springs
to each "I" beam. I was going to build the
frame from scratch, starting from the "I" beam
suspension, making the trailer the max legal
8-1/2 feet wide for Minnesota and having
surge brakes go to the stock calipers on each
wheel. Has anyone else out there seen this
done?? Any ideas or suggestions? Boyd.
