Mlcc Trailer build (hopefully)

For awhile now I pass by a this trailer that's for sale everyday but I could never get a good look at it because it was in a field behind a fence so it sat and sat and sat with no takers. Today as I was coming home it was on the side of the road with a free sign, "FREE" why the hell not ill take it I like free shit even if its a complete pile I have no investment in it.

Here's the pics since you guys like visuals, and I warn you its a pile

 

I took advantage of a sunny weekend and striped the trailer

 

This axle was steerable once

 

Nice start! The prize is always in the eye of the beholder. Looks like you got a good frame for the platform out of it.

 

Yes the frame is solid and little rust it should clean up nicely but what ever that thing is that holds the wheels on is going bye bye. I have to source an axle and springs from somewhere

 

Not sure what the shipping cost would be from Dallas to you but I got my axles, hubs and all the suspension parts from this place, http://www.southwestwheel.com/store/c-2-trailerpartcom.aspx
They built it to the specified width and I was able to get the hubs with the 6-on-5.5 bolt pattern to match the truck. Was a pretty fair price in my opinion for everything I got.

 

So... im putting this on hold for an even bigger P.O.S. trailer but its an actual camper from the 50's!

 

Ill have pics when i get home it basically needs a complete restore and striped down to the frame but it has some nice features

 

And what my truck looks like after going and seeing it so pulling it out of its hole and through the mud trail wont be easy

 

I need to go to the store and by alot of beer so i can get started on this thing i have currugated metal to replace the old ripped and dented siding but god damn the inside us reallybad it looks like rats possums and hobos had a great big orgy not to mention the tires that are off the bead and wasp nests FML but its free so why not

 

Operation trailer build is commencing, the plan for today is to get it stripped down to the frame and put some tires on it so it can roll
