what is it built out of and what for. i would appreciate it

[pegleg]

it's steel and expanded metal screen with tool box on top. plywood lined to help cut down heat. it was built for a ford diesel. but it shouldn't matter as far as design goes it's fairly simple and has been used on four or five different trucks and a couple trailers.

just figure out how many dogs u want to haul and how big u want it. do u want to haul a quad with or a sled this will limit your box disign a little. if u have small 40-50 # dogs u can haul 4 very well in a 3.5 by 4 box and six will fit snug and a big 4 by 5 box heck ill put 10-12 dogs in the big box. i also built one that fit along the back of my headack rack that was 2.5' by 6' this also would hold 8-10 dogs. give me a call if u have any other questions .
