Enclosed Car Trailer Optimal Size

Anything to save labor & material on the assembly line is what trailer manufacturers try to do. 0.30” is stock on most trailers. You get less “ ripples “ as time passes. With 16” OC sidewall framing and exterior aluminum screwed to every sidewall frame member you have a more stout wall and a stronge...

Enclosed Car Trailer Optimal Size

TW was kind enough to go look at a trailer for me and put a deposit down on it - when I paid the balance he was kind enough to let me store it at his house last year - then I took it to a trailer repair shop relatively close to have necessary work done - it spent the Winter there waiting for a spot ...

Anything a dealer carries on a lot will be what most customers are shopping for to buy & take home. So - you are goin...

Few years ago the British would come to Chickasha, get a container fill it up with cars and parts. Then have it shipped across the pond. They would buy everything in site.
If you look at the image in my post
“ The British “ are represented

Recommended 12V battery - not an Optima

Three years is good for a battery
In my diesel dually I run Walmart
premium batteries because they
have a full 3 year free replacement
policy with no pro rating.
Everyone else has one year
free replacement- then pro rated.

CHICKASHA Pre-War Swap Meet 2023

Has a nice talk on the phone with Dean Yoder.

He was waiting for the gates open to set up
in the back of his Model T Camper
while listening to the rain fall.

He said turnout for vendors looks good.

He already bought some stuff.

Wish I was there instead of Snohomish, WA.

Best way to clean my trailer wiring connector.

Are you referencing the male/female connecting
plugs from the tow vehicle/trailer ?

If so - the corrosion may have spread past
the connector(s) back into the wire under
the insulation.

If in doubt - replace.

need parts moved

Steven 👋

Start a thread on “ General Discussion “
Put the city/town & zip code along
with what parts specifically you need
in the description & whether you want
open or enclosed hauling.

Title Example:

“ Enclosed Parts Transport Needed From
Binghamton, NY 13901 To Chickasha Swap “
