I've got a couple of plans for trailers, dual and tri wheel dumps and low boys. I want to build 1 dump vs buy a dump truck and 1 low boy to haul the tractor around. I'm a big fan of aluminum (except for when it comes in contact with food) and will build them out of that material.

The question is, the plans are 'off the shelf' calling out in stee the BOM, is there any general formula to convert to aluminum stock dimensions?
