[QUOTE="Ringo Steele, post: 230293, member: 6694"] Hi Moberg, Your trailer looks like my old Cox, a 1971 model. Be sure to check where the sides converge into the tongue, and between the spring mounting rails and the trailer frame. That is where most of the corrosion accumulated on mine. Mine is bad enough that I will have to remove some of the C-channel where the spring rails meet the frame and have some angle steel welded in to replace it. May have to replace the spring rails as well. I've lucked into a Vann galvanized trailer that was my father-in-laws and will use it now. The Cox will become a "when I get a 'round-to-it" project. It was my uncle's boat and trailer, and I would like to restore it just for the sentimental value. P.s. ... my new-to-me Vann trailer comes with a free boat too, maybe worse condition than the one you had fun with. [/QUOTE]
