Ha Ha- Small world as I was thinking of doing that exact mod to mine. I just want to source a secondary lunette so I can keep my original just in case. And I bought the shackle kit as a generic set off the shelf at Autozone. Next time i'm by there I will swing in and look at the part number to...

Thanks Jeff. Once you start its hard to stop. Ill send you a PM per your request.

Well I brought my baby home. Put her up on some saw horses to take a look at her. I then sanded her entire body with 320 grit and made it smooth as possible. Gave her a bath in DAWN to rinse all the funk and grease from last few months. The I gave her a little Phosphoric Prep and Etch. I have...

Made a visit to the fab shop on Friday. The pictures are of what welcomed me when I walked in. Have to say I was pretty darn pleased. The gate was better than expected and the welds were great. I had them add corner bars to the front after seeing the rear. Ken had added 3/16" angle to all four...

The tub sitting at the fab shop after picking it up from sand blasting. I used PCI in Palmdale, Ca www.powdercoatindustries.com for this go around on blasting. Service was excellent and got a great deal thanks to a tip from a friend at Virgin Galactic. The fab shop is going to be framing up the...

This update shows adding the suspension and doing a rough fit of the tub onto the frame for first time since powder coat. The leaf springs weren't that hard to install at all. The shocks on the other hand were a little different. The bushing I had to shave down a hair to get the cotter pin in...

No problem!! you are welcome. Glad to help.

Well ok- I believe thats what the data plate stated. Ill dig whats left of it out of my stuff in the next few days and take a look. The data plate was in the box of stuff i got from the seller and was covered in paint. And yes its still a good buy no matter what version it is.

Thanks!! I jumped on the add when i saw it. I was like the 10th caller the guy had but 1st to "show him the money". I didnt know the rarity at the time when I purchased it. Glad I have it now. Im on way to pick it up from a buddys shop. Much more to come.

Now I took a short break to order some parts for the trailer. I ordered new Leaf Springs: Omix-Ada 18201.02 Leaf Spring New Shocks: Monroe 32207 Monro-Matic Plus Shock Absorber. I found these were the same as the NAPA model (Monroe makes the NAPA model) that everyone recommends...

Move ahead approximately 1 month. Trailer was sandblasted and then powder coated in satin black. I was really pleased with the appearance. I pieced everything back together then reassembled the basic parts of the frame with Grade 8 bolts. I thought with the black the Grade 8 bolts gave the frame...

Move along to 2013 and I was able to start the complete tear down of the frame in prep for sand blasting and powder coating. A coworker recommended a company in Lancaster, Ca that he had used in the past. As you can see the pieces did not look to bad at all after over 40 years. The rebuild plate...
