[QUOTE="Andrew, post: 7187767, member: 93"] That reads like you're considering the back end of a rigid truck for a chassis? Don't do it. It will twist everywhere, and you will struggle to get an engineer to calculate the strength for the weight plate etc as you won't know what grade steel it is. Make it from scratch, new box section is very cheap and you can have exactly what you want - it won't work out any cheaper. I've cut down an artic trailer and built one from scratch (both builds are on here somewhere) and the scratch build was a better job and probably worked out cheaper and definitely better. [/QUOTE]
