Looks like you got a nice frame for pennies on the dollar, you should be able to build a really nice trailer for next to nothing. I know a place to get steel cheap in Knoxville if you don't have a good source locally.

Yes thats why i bought it...a 26 foot deck...Yes will make a great trailer with alot of welding...and making it stronger..

Where is the place in knoxville.?

Wow, did you get a deal. 6 lug axles alone are worth around $250 each

cableguy0 · 04-09-2011, 10:52 AM

Thats a great deal. The steel alone is worth probably triple what you paid for it just in scrap. Good score should make a real nice trailer.

That map is not real clear, so I'll "line you out" on how to get there:

Heading west on I 40, take the second Rutledge Pike (Magnolia St) exit,392 (heading towards downtown). Loop around back under I 40, turn right at the first lite, just past the interstate. Take that till it dead ends (@ 2 blocks), turn right. Go under I 40 again, you'll see the sign on the right. Good people, good prices, tell 'em I sent you........................

I use mostly the "non-confirming" angle, which means it was made at the start or end of the run, and may taper from, say, 2X2 to 2X1 7/8 or so. It's way cheaper than the perfect stuff, and I've never had a problem using it.

I did manage to get half the deck off today along with the slide out unit...It still works...

Can you say power ramps on the rear...

I am going to give it a try with that slide unit...Its 12v and powerful...I will be posting pics in a day or two
