A guy gave me a pickup box trailer frame a while back so I went and picked it up today. He said it was made out of a late 60’s, early 70’s pickup frame. I found a pleasant surprise while cleaning it up looking for a ratio code. The axle code verifies it. THT = 1971 3.07 PosiTrac. Yeah, Im happy….

That is good. With positive traction your trailer is less likely to get stuck up.

Are you going to remove and save that axle?

I "ll give you 50.00 for it

Yes, I can tow it through deeper snow with no worries....

Yes, I have a frame that needs a leaf spring rear axle assembly.

One man's junk really is another man's treasure.

Most of the wood I used to build those crates for the member in Canada was stuff that I salvaged, mostly from someone's left over home builds.

The aluminum for the washer pump bracket came from an old tossed sign and from part of a TV base someone had thrown in a dumpster.

You did indeed luck up if you can use those things. A 3.07 wouldn't be much good for where I live (hills, hills, and more hills) but for a flatlander, it's just the thing. Congrats again.
