Got a new truck dealer right here a couple of miles away. Thanks, Man. I'm getting near the end of this tunnel. I've got plenty of 1" aluminum angle on hand.
By the way, the trailer that I converted has a very, very slight, extremely slight in fact, relation to the Titanic. About 8 years ago I bought an aluminum lifeboat on this trailer and dragged it home and converted it to a small Volvo diesel overnight cruiser. When we ground down the paint on the boat, a name appeared and it turned out to be the sole lifeboat on the Sternecliffe Hall cargo ship used in the Great Lakes water system. The Hall company was out of Montreal, Canada. There was a bronze plaque on the lifeboat stating the date of mfg. , Lane Lifeboat and Davit Company out of Brooklyn, NY ( an old company at that time ) date of mfg about 1942. Capacity 28 persons, etc. After the Titanic's surviving lifeboats were collected, they were sent to the Lane Lifeboat and Davit Company for evaluation. A thin one, yes...
