Ummmm. That’s whatcha call user error. Someone wants a rust-free 6x roof, and I responded. Have no idea how I accidentally posted those on this thread. Sorry........now back to the regularly-scheduled programming.........

Drug this Bantam T3- C home today, Its really solid, for a 60 year old trailer. Ran 70 mph for 40 miles and bearings stayed cool and no issues. I traded a .22 pistol for it so the price was right. It’s been sitting outside a friends house for 15 years, and should make a good project . Going to pressure wash the crap and 2 layers of loose paint off it then put it in the garage for sanding and painting and misc. stuff.

I've got the same trailer. Left hand side should be left hand thread lug nuts. Bearings and races:

Timken 18590 Bearing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000BZ96X6?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf

Toyota hub gasket fits the bearing cover plate.

Lipstick on a pig LOL. I’ve put new spring shackles on it, packed bearings wire wheeled the old paint and threw some rattle can paint on it. One day I need to really address some rust areas but it’s plenty solid for my needs right now. Gonna put longer tailgate chains on it to be able to lay it flat. The tailgate isn’t the original bantam one but plenty beefy

Congrats. I see you putting boats on that. Lifting them up on the roof is for the birds

Finally installed that tank box I got from Lash a couple years ago. 2 1/2" bolts, some 1 1/2" aluminum tube spacers and some fender washers. Just used the holes that were already in the box and drilled 4 holes in the trailer tub. Looks like it was made for this trailer.
