[drivingpairs] Carriage in Pick-up

I had no problems with swaying with the extra long trailer tongue, but I did 
use anti sway bars.
The U channels have dawnward supports welded on them (like legs) which did 
have small wooden "feet" on which they are mounted, so the wooden feet rest in 
the pick-up box. They also have "arms" welded to the top which go to the side 
of the pickup box to the three holes where tie down hocks can be mounted and 
are attached under the screw in tie downs. It is all very sturdy, as it has to 
be to hold a 800 lbs pair marathon vehicle. The plan was also to mount an 
electric winch in the front to pull up the carriage, but we never got around to 
that, even though I had the winch, but before we got that completed we upgraded 
to a new gooseneck trailer.  But for one season and one eastcoast trip we did 
use the ramps then without a winch, just pushing the carriage up by hand and it 
all worked fine.
