cracked trailer frame....

[Soundguy]

we bought that f250 6.0psd for 2k$ fromt eh junkyard. runs great. has intact front end ( 2wd ).. and cab forward metal and plastic is good. bed is beat up.. tires rough... interior ragged.

we got it to take quarter panels, hood, front clip, radiator, and cooler and ac parts off of to put on another f250 we have that a paylaoder backed into. I stole the $$ alt off it and it was quite convienient.

I think int he end we will ahve stripped about 3000-4000$ of parts off it.. and still have a good engine, 2wd tranny and rear end. can dell those at auction.. or sell the tranny and keep the rear and engine as a spare for our 2 f250's then sell the fram and ballance to the scrapper. heck the engine is worth a good bit if sold too..

might save rear axle too..

My old trailer had the same problem. after i repaired it , I carried a pair of car ramps to slide under the back of the trailer to keep it from dropping. made it easy and with the taper of the ramps to adjust for uneven ground.

I should be done Saturday and will throw up some pics for my solution on the jacks and storage. I am using 3500 lb jacks on the back. Mounting via square tube recievers. Storage for the Jacks will be on the front of the trailer, slide them in and pin/lock. Still have to add some wiring harness loops and update the wiring some, then the boards go on. Got to get it fixed this weekend as next weekend it gets broke in hauling cattle.

 

[Soundguy]

jacks or stands?

 

[Case485Guy]

I went with jacks mainly because I found 2 in my garage I had bought along time ago and never used. Got to love cleaning out the garage, found them and some 3500lb leaf springs in the back of a cabinet, I had bought prolly 7-8 yrs ago for a farrm trailer I was going to build and never did

 

[Soundguy]

good use for underutilized gear!

jack mounts front and rear done, frame fixed and new boards in bolted down and ready. Trailer still pulls straight as an arrow @ 70mph. Got the tube welded in for the spare tire mount, right behind the tool box. Still need to get the spindle and hub etc to fab mount up. Do that in a couple of weeks, tired of welding for now..LOL.But its ready for the road now.
