I knew a guy that used to do that with all the import trucks he could find. He sold a butt load of them. They can make a nice little trailer. It was mid to late '70 so not much need for the parts. IIRC he would heat the frame and bend them together and weld on the hitch.

Grandmaster of the "Shade Tree" way.. I can't see the yard for all the cars. Come on down and we will sit on the porch and watch the grass grow.
