Hello all.
Its funny how you see something in an ad and say " I could do this..... or that to it" then you get it home and realize how big and heavy the thing is.
I am a proud new owner of a 1968 M105. The frame has some surface rust on the tongue but the under carriage is clean, the box looks almost new. The plates on the frame look original but the plates on the box look altered. There are new bolts holding the box to frame which leads me to believe the box was placed on this frame and the number plate changed to match the frame....is this a common practice? I kinda need some help, and yes, I have searched the forums and have found a world of knowledge, but I have never even attempted anything like this, to say the least this will be my first Trailer project.
A Low voltage Electrical Technician by trade the light rework is a joy to figure out. The body and axle and wheels and.....that's all another story.
