Nice. Only thing I see that might be a problem is rust
forming under those plastic bins if you mounted them flush.
Might want to stand them up about 1/4" with washers or some
such so any water that gets under can get out.
I've seen several trucks with rust due to those plastic bins
being bolted directly to the bed.
...
Here is a trick I saw on a local welders rig.
He stuck 2" receivers along both sides of the trailer.
That let him put on a carrier for pipe/ladders. If I
see him at the pub I'll try to get some pictures.
Been a while though.
Off the top of my noggin it looked something like this.
http://members.***.net/wilsond/temp/rack.gif
The arms were made of tube that could swivel and be locked
so they could point inboard or outboard. Couldn't have been
more than 1 1/2" pipe, they wern't too stout and the bottom was
a 2" standard hitch. They had a flange on top and a pin that
held them.

Good idea.
Maybe one for a shade unbrella. The welding trucks here in South Texas
have these big arms that swing out with a holder for the shade.
An old wheel rim (matching mag) for the leads and gas lines?
You'll need a small compressor too. :^)

My small Tractor Supply bought trailer has my Lincoln Welder and
