M101Ax lumber quest

[i8boots]

Hello all,

I don't know why it's bothering me so much, but in my quest to make new lumber for my M101 racks I came across a lumber yard in the Midwest that sold complete (cut and drilled) lumber kits for these trailers. I can't find the place now no matter how hard I search and was hoping someone here knows what I'm talking about.

Thanks!

I'm interested too!

Probably not what your thinking of, but a member here sells "kits", or used to. might be worth a PM.

Thanks Joshuak for the bump. Yes I do have kits.

The one thing you could do to save on shipping is find a local saw mill. They can make these for you. Will probably cost more than mine given they are going to charge you for the oak and my oak is coming off my property. Just giving everyone options.


These could be shipped via Fastenal, have to build a crate around them but i bet shipping would be under 100 anywhere in US.

What kind of oak do you use and how long is it dried? I don't know if that's a weird question or not, I'm just noticing that all of my screws (after very little trailer use) are coming lose due to my Cedar boards shrinking/drying. I assume it's because I was using fresh cedar and not aged or properly dried cedar.
