Hey BenT, each one of those photos depicted became my "favorite" until I saw the next one...and so on and so on.� Very creative folks out there.� Lots of utility and practicality, and much better than going to the crusher at the very least.� Let's see what you come up with!!!

Since I haven't gotten responses for the original question, I dug around
the web and found enough pics to help me along. I've collected pics of
trailers I found of interest made from Dokas and also those made from
van/Westy bodies.

First of all, my apologies for the crosspost.
Has anyone here built a trailer out of the remains of a Doublecab? Most
interested in how the front portion was handled.
Found a pic online where they used the front of a T3/Vanagon complete with
grills & lights. Seems like reasonable solution but would add to the tongue
weight. There are a few structural cross members from the Doka which
already add weight on the front end. None of which line-up perfectly!

Pics & links would be most helpful. Also, if anyone is parting out a Doka
or Singlecab, please pmail me. Interested in some sections which are rusted
on my Doka.

TIA,
