I would think to either make the trunk lid removeable with pins, or open from the side, gangsta style. I dunno, Gregor has a point.

Found this: http://www.doityourself.com/stry/qnatrucks4

First, a warning. Although pick-up box trailers are cheap and easy to make, they are one poor trailer unless they are properly rigged. The biggest problem is the fact that the wheels are smack dab in the middle of the box. When you load the thing and go over a bump, the trailer tends to whip because of there being no weight or negative weight on the ball. You need to have the wheels behind the centerline of the box to about 60 percent in front and 40 percent in back for it to handle safely. If you use the original axle, you must keep the gears together so that the front seal can keep the gear oil in. Some have removed the gears and made a plate for the front opening to keep the oil in. Those bearings can't run dry. The truck axle will probably work fine, it will just be heavier than the lighter beam axle. You can always strip the brakes off to make it a little lighter.

Seems like every place I read, they say that you want 60% weight on the tongue side and 40% on the axle side, otherwise she will sway. Something to think about when doing the layout.

Hey Kevin... Did you see this from Rick:

Is that a 2" section of square tube? I may have a 2" hitch that fits that tube.

If that's 2" square tube, let Rick know.

Not sure if the IRS will help or hurt in a trailer application. I don't think it would affect it negatively, because we are looking at what 600lbs or so?
