saggy old springs... But that wheel offset looks outboard more than stock. I never rubbed on my stock springs and stock wheels 265/75R17 back a few years ago (maybe 7?) when I was running that size on the '05

looks super great! You are ahead of me by a long ways. Always constrained by time.

do it

Curious as to when the 45 mph statement was applied. I have one of the HF 40" x 48" trailers (steel version) that I've had about 10 years. Don't recall it was advertised that way when I bought it. Its been drug along at 75 mph all over the place...

Rust sucks... how is the frame? What area of the country was this driven most of its life? Don't surprise yourself, had to flatbed tow one of my trucks home a few years ago due to a minor breakdown but no parts available in the area, about 120 miles (interstate highway) not in the middle of...

an '89 should be easily do-able. Assume you mean, import re-title and license in USA. A Pretty much anything over 25 year old from the DAY of build (not model year) can be done unless its California in some cases. Not sure how particular Colorado is on emissions testing thou. Google it.

I daily drove 25 year + old trucks for years, however always had a backup. My commute is short, only around 4 miles. I would never recommend it as an only vehicle that needs to be relied upon. If you absolutely need to use the vehicle for work and during work you should be leasing something...

no kidding, interest free year long loan. Do they really need to que up materials 10 months ahead of the build? - assume that is the 50% (ha) sweet deal for Vagabond.

They post on IG a lot, must be good :-\

look like its on a mid 70's (target 1975) era full size Chevy box in the photos

I have the LSD in spares that you desire. PM me...

I think you answered your own question... Your rear springs are shot. Replace them. OME are less than $300 a pair.

I know its wood... I plan to use Baltic Birch plywood. But there are plastic panel options such as HDPE : https://www.menards.com/main/building-materials/panel-products/plastic-utility-panels/1-4-x-4-x-8-hdpe-panel/1295015/p-1444424094192-c-14048.htm?tid=2220874779442997860&ipos=2

I also used Zyltech and Tnutz for the 2020. Best pricing I could find.

2020 might be a little small. I'm using 8020 series 10 across a 48" unsupported span on 12" centers to support my mattress (2 adults max). The website 8020.net has the deflection calculations for all of their profiles, so you could do the engineering. As a note, I'm strictly using generic...

I bought several sticks of 2020 and fittings that I am planning to build mine with. Seams a lot less expensive than 10 series 8020.

with enough money thrown at it, this can become a $35K or maybe even $45k rig.

255 by what?

After running both 285/75R16 and 265/75R17 on mine, I agree that the 265 are the best size for a Gen 3. Once my 285s wear out, I'll go back to 265s.
