The 5 stud trailer was generally painted red with yellow wheels and was designed for hinged sides with rear corner posts that lift out as needed. The front corner arrangement works on a similar principle to the 12 stud with a few changes.
Bed Kit
The trailer bed does not have sockets in the side rails for drop in posts, so is cheaper to make.
