creating a trailer from longbed frame and bed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've got the long frame and bed from my truck swap, and i can't bring myself to cut it up for scrap, so i decided i'll make a trailer to haul behind my now-shortbed '72... (i think it'd look, cool color coordinated)

My question is, has anybody done a writeup on this?
I've searched, but haven't found anything

I'm most interested in the best way to bring the frame together to form the tongue.

I figured i'd notch the upper and lower lip of the frame, and bend them together, to maintain structural integrity, but i'm curious about the best way to get them to bend.

any suggestions?
