On offer today is a very unique utility/2 place motorcycle trailer. Sporting its original, “as found, forgotten” Texas patina, it started life as part of a first generation long box Chevrolet S10, year unknown.
The original truck was part of South Austin Lore for years before its untimely, fiery demise, resurgence as a well built trailer, largely forgotten in the back of a parking lot for years, found, preserved its one off finish/degenerate patina, high quality upgraded wheels, tires and suspension, kitted out to carry/accommodate a pair of vintage Kawasaki KLR 650 dual purpose motorcycles or pull the wheel chocks and use for more pedestrian tasks as a very capable utility trailer. More details? Read on.
*Original one off D-construction patina retained
*New Premium 8 ply trailer tires (3)
*Rare mid-80s Lincoln Continental faux wire basket wheels on premium wheel adapters
*New shocks
* Suspension lowered 3 inches. Includes blocks for lowering 2 more inches with new U-bolts.
*New spare tire carrier with custom U-bolts.
*Rare 7 foot bed. Super nice bed sides with minor dents and near rust free. Use or sell the early S10 bed parts?
*Sale includes unmounted tongue jack, 2 motorcycle wheel chocks (removable but can be permanent), extra tail lights and a new aluminum folding ramp.
*HD Bed Mat
*New replacement tail lights in stock location have been wired to a trailer 4-prong wire/connector. Works perfectly!
Trailer looks good and pulls great! The original trailer creation was done by pros. The 3 inch lowering helps loading and amps the visual. Included 2 inch blocks (new) will let the new owner tailor it further to their suspension needs. Safety chains have new hooks.
The combination of the lowered bed height, stable front wheel chocks, grippy bed mat and a longer folding loading ramp makes for an easy and secure loading/driving experience for a couple motorcycles and support needs. Not sure how much weight it handles but about 800 pounds of Kawasaki KLR 650s rides real nice. $1000
BTW: Motorcycles/trucks shown in the display pictures may be for sale but are not included in this trailer sale. Inquire if interested. Thanks!
