Re: Flatbed Trailer Home Build
Picked it up again with the forklift to weld the bottoms of all the crossmembers. Probably not an OSHA-approved lift...
Mounted up the toolbox, hitched it to the M1009 blazer and took it around the block. It seemed to track straight without "dog-legging" into the oncoming lane of traffic, so I managed to get the axles mostly perpendicular to the frame when welding in the new spring hangers. Yay!
Also added rub rails/tiedowns around all the stake pockets.
Brought it back, welded on the tie down rings, and moved on to paint.
