Re: 1970 C30 Car hauler Buildish thread.
Looks like the project is coming along nicely.
Just a side note, I used to fabricate trailers professionally and those short rails you removed from the sides of the bed are usually added to give the outer bed rails extra strength to resist bending under load.
With yours being home built it may be over built with larger tubing than needed and not need these secondary rails.
If you do need them you may run into some deflection caused stress cracking of the tubing adjacent to the welds where the outriggers attach back to the main rails over the truck frame. Watch out for this.
