Peter, 2200 lb would be just fine for the axles and hubs- the 12" and 13" wheels/tires are going to be the weak point anyways. You should be able to get a wheel and tire combo for <$200/set as well. Think cheap (like Correct Craft did)... 4-lug steelies. Like these:

12" wheel from Northern Tool for $30



12" tire from Eastern Marine, 1045 lb capacity (each) for $43



On the couplers, I actually found the same ones that CC used, after much searching:

$40 coupler from etrailer



Dont forget that unless you'd be selling them with "some assembly required", then they'd also have to be painted, and finished- meaning fenders, lights, wiring, chains, carpeted bunks, etc.

I think theres a "want" for a handful of them, for sure... whether or not theres a market for them, Im not quite as confident! Once you add up what it would cost to build them, then add a reasonable upcharge to cover your time and effort, there may not be many takers. Thats been my experience on a few of the "hard to find" custom made parts Ive had done up. I still think its worth going through the effort of tallying up the costs though!

Thanks Tim I am going to at least replace a rail on my # 2 . Bruce your #3 is ready for you here i am just waiting on u bolts but i can get those for you later . also dont worry about leaving it here as long as you want .

Hi Bruce the drivers side rail has a twist in it i cant get out completely i might not have to worry bout it , i was playing with it trying to get the bow out of it and was struggling it is probably fine.     f anyone is looking for square u bolts look at jamestown distributors part # scp57461 it is 1/2 " square bend .3 1/16 span 5 5/16 length . 2 inch thread .      bruce also northern tool probably has the tires and wheels for you

Those etrailer wheels look good to me. We're trying to replicate this which look bigger than 13's to me:

That #3 on our old Cuda was bought new in about 73-74. It wasn't a 60's trailer.
