Re: What did you do today not on your truck...

The swing tongue jack on my trailer broke . The nut inside the lift tube stripped out . The trailer just dropped to the ground glad I didn’t have the Chevelle on it I had just taken it off and unhooked the trailer from the dodge . The screw is fine but couldn’t find a nut to weld onto the drop tube . It’s 3/4 -8 left handed Acme thread . McMaster has them for 6$ but by the time I buy and ship then weld it up might as well buy a new one . But for the time being I used an old tongue jack from my cargo trailer that I replaced with an electric unit . Couple of cuts and some welding and it good for the time being . Little to light duty but until I get a 2k pound unit it’ll do .
