Dennis - if you were closer you could have mine...
LOL-
I made it because I didn't want the box sitting down on the ground on the boxsides; the area under the pencil braces was rusted out and I was afraid it would bend the flange on the bottom.
I made that one exclusively out of scrap wood that was laying around; the uprights are 4x4 cut two feet long, then the box was lag bolted to the ends through the box bolt holes. I added the horizontal braces to give it some stability.
At that point I started to winch it up on the trailer and that's when I realized the legs were too narrow to fit on the skids (it's an open center trailer)...
so I quickly added those crosscar 2x4's at the bottom.
It worked out well; I could slide it/wheel it around at will, it put the box at a nice height for working on it and the guys in the paint shop seemed to appreciate it.
