[AT] Homebuilding a trailer

[Cecil Bearden]

I will get the bed removed from it sometime this year when I get my tilt 
bed finished.  I am going to get a winch bed on the firetruck rigged to 
pull that gooseneck.  this fuel price thing sorta slowed me down a 
lot.....  I am retiring March 1, so maybe I will have some time to do a 
few things.
