    XJSuperman's Sears&Roebuck Trailer

    I would step down your wall thickness By alot. .095 will be well suited for a trailer rack. Watch your height, the trailers tend to be very top heavy with a rack, especially unloaded. Neat trailer though! I have a David Bradley myself that had a very similar paint job.
