I was heading home on the Schuylkill expressway when I realized I didn’t get the u bolts and spacers that Art was asking about. I’m sure they had to cut the bolts off, maybe they ruined the spacers. I can make some.
Many trailer service businesses will bend and thread U-bolts to your specs. The one near me also sells an assortment of U-bolts that did not meet the drawing specs for other jobs, and they are only $5 each. As for the spacers, I am going to use appropriate lengths of steel tubing or even pipe for those.
Boy, I’m happy with this bed. The passenger side has a slight bend, but the driver’s side is straight. They made a sling out of old seatbelts to lift it on my trailer.
My older brother next to me is the fox trapper. He caught 49 this year. She just loves it when he pulls up. She has a different bark. She kinda squeals when he comes around.
Threaded rod and a couple of plates work as good as U bolts to tie the bed down. Just remember that unless you build the stringers with well seasoned wood, the bolts will need to be tightened when the wood dries.
