Damn beautiful day today in Baltimore ...
Yard crew hit trailer purdy hard with the torch. They was still burnin' when I left, so'll have to get some pics tomorrow.
The first pic shows the back channel. It's purdy beat up since it was a tilt bed. Gotta new hunk of channel to replace it.
Second pic shows how the tongue goes straight into the axle to form the pivot point for the original tilt bed and how the axle is directly bolted to the frame.
