It was asked what I would be pulling the trailer with. The 1 Ton '85 Dodge you see in one or more of the above pics.
If you search around here you should come up with my build of a dump trailer from an old camper frame (30 footer) I cut it down on both ends. It's roughly 6 x 10 with 2 foot sides, 6 ply tires (new) and two 3500 lb axles with brakes on all. It tows great and dumps perfectly.
Just make sure your welds are good, if you can't be confident maybe you can find someone who will help you with them. Don't take this the wrong way as I don't know your skills and capabilities, I just don't want to see innocent people get hurt.
Enjoy and good luck, keep us posted!

Wow! Thanks for all of the responses! I haven't done a thing with the frame except to do this.:msp_w00t:
Found this guy just begging for a ride home. And that is just what I did.
If you look close, the trailer is under there. :jester:
I backed the trailer into the garage, centered it, pulled the tires off and went crazy bracing. When I got tired of bracing, I started jacking the trailer up. Either the braces would hold and the garage would rise or I would have to go with plan C or was it G? Well, the braces held, and I drove it home.
