I'm looking to expand my collection of T's, and need a trailer for both transportation and storage of my 1925 pickup. Does anyone have a suggestion of who sells a secure car carrier(lockable) I can leave my T in safely when I'm not driving it? I don't have garage space for 2 at this point.
thanks

There are many makes of trailers on the market, with a great range in both price and quality. I chose to order one through a dealer for Cargo Express. You can look up the trailers on the internet. try cargoexpress.com expect to pay from $3500 up for a trailer for your T.
Where are you. In central Texas STONES trailer is the place for good prices and quaility
Thanks. I am in North Texas, so that isn't very far. Do you have on of theirs? Which one?

I have a two axel for safety, 72 inches wide, wheel well to whell well. Standard is 77. My trailer is shorter than most, 12 foot, with built in ramps. I special ordered mine at no extra cost, paided and went home and they called and said they had over charged me 168, I would have never known. The smaller and lighter trailer is a must for me as I pull with a Dodge Dakota quad cab. I nailed a 2x4 on each side of the bed and wheels fit right in there. Also I had it painted safety yellow and added two lights on three foot pipes so I can see and be seen. If I break down I use a come-a-long to pull the T on trailer. I have a spare tire on the side of trailer. By the way you have a great looking truck, Mi Hack looks beat up, but runs well, Nick
Trailer manufactures can sell trailers in all states with brakes on only one axle. Brakes are required on both axles of a two axle trailer in several states and any accident will result in a hefty fine, if the other set of brakes is missing. Safety should address more than the trailer's length and width. The equalizer hitch is a must. A breakaway brake switch and separate trailer battery is required by law in many states. The S loop at the safety chains end should be replaced by safety link that screws together. Just because the speed limit is 65 MPH, it might not be safe to tow a trailer that fast anyway. I have had more trailer towing accidents than I have had motor vehicle accidents. I learned all this the hard way.
Yes forgot to add that trailer brakes are a must item. James Golden is correct. Stone's in San Marcos is 512-353-8244 they are in north Austin also

A couple more things about trailers. I like the BULL DOG HITCH. I also like a tail gate that pulls down from the top that I can drive on so I don't have to mess with ramps. My currant trailer is 8'6" which is wider than I need. Wish I had gone narrower.
