The bearing hubs are for the rear of an 82-88 Caddy Cimmeron, it cost $100 a piece and it is lifetime warranty.

Did you turn the tube at the bearing housings for strength or other? Looks good.

Yes, I turned the tubing on the axle part for extra strenght and also more strenght throughout the trailer including front and rear. The axle is about 4" behind the torsions on the buggy.

Long time ago we used to build T trailers here at the shop.
Used junkyard Chrysler K car rear spindles.
They bolt on too.

That is correct, I am building it for short trips around the local area, like Grayson, Ky and Lewis County, KY, and probably for small parking areas, like the Cold Spot.

Very clean looking job you have done there. Keep up the good work on it and you will have a great trailer. Wish that I could weld that good.

Thank you guys very much on my welding comments, I am very glad that teaching myself how to MIG weld finally pays off after 5 years since I bought my welder. I take pride in my work very much, if I don't like the way it turns out, I will go back and fix it to where I like it. I am also thinking about putting on half-torsion axles in it due to having trouble finding wheels that will fit the trailer without rubbing the frame unless I make some spacers to space it out (about 4", too much) I will have to use positive offset wheels because of the bolt pattern. It's never too late while you're in the middle of the project. Here is the info on the half-axles that I am thinking about. http://www.etrailerpart.com/halftorsionaxles.htm
