Pickup becomes trailer

I've seen a few variations on this theme: a few years ago a friend wanted to move a pickup truck from Rhode Island to Texas to use for parts. After investigating we decided the bed and most of the frame weren't worth keeping but still wanted to keep the front back to the cab. We first cut off the entire back including the bed and rolled it by hand to a local salvage yard (who actually paid us a few dollars for it!) Next we bolted a trailer tongue to the back of the cab, put red tape over the headlights and had ourselves a nifty trailer. And, yes, we did make it all the way to Texas without serious incident...
