Blasting was $120.00. I found a good matching spare tire and rim. Still looking for lunette used and cheap (not $185.00) . also fixed parking brake, packed bearings patched a couple of small holes in floor and tried to flatten the floor, which is still a little wavy 
. Frame and tongue will be black). I'm still deciding on rim color but think I'll do Hub and lugs black and rims the same blue as the body.

Very nice!
Looking good.
Yeah, those floors are never going to be flat as factory, even if they left in perfect shape, which I kinda doubt. If there's going to be an inspection, remind Sarge that it's not like a barracks bed -- a quarter doesn't need to bounce so high to pass inspection.
Main thing is to always make sure water doesn't stand in it uncovered outside now that you've got it cleaned up. That's the thing that really cut into the life of these trailers, given they sit far more than they run -- and we sure would like the luxury of running them more than we usually do, believe me.
