Happened upon this today. Not far from home.
A short drive home to get my camera and returned to take a photo.

I will attempt to get a pic of the tow vehicle in the next day or so.
I wondered what the brake set up would be.

too front heavy, I was going to make a double ended troopy [75] once perfect balance.
Instead I made a Hilux single cab camper

I think I know that guy???

Had the opportunity recently to grab a Maverick and convert that to a trailer.
would need to be cut down the B pillar IMO to make it balanced. too much work
but would look great if you got a short back cut from the wreckers and welded
another rear to the front. That would give about 7-8' and a flat floor. the draw bar could be
adapted to the OE chassis, leave the rear diff housing in and brakes good spares in the case of a
breakdown, just remove the diff centre. I have it all drawn up somewhere.
Leave the barn doors in the back and enclose the front with checker plate and a window.
1800mm drawbar with possibly a small utility box as well
