See if you can find someone to walnut or soda blast the body to clean aluminum.
I like it, Looks like a vintage U-Haul Trailer They had a reversed sticker on the fender that read:
"Maximum speed 45MPH" You could see it corrected in the rear view mirror.

Today was a busy day. I tried to get the lights working, but I ended up pulling all the lights and wiring out. Unfortunately the new lights don't fit the existing holes. I also pulled the astro turf off and found that the plywood decking is rotten. I guess I will need to do more tearing down before its ready to travel.

Looks like an interesting old trailer.

Tear down is coming along well. New flooring, tires, and bearings should get me through this summers activities. I just need to get it roadworthy in the next two weeks.

The trailer hit the road for its first trip this week. 1,000 miles under our belt.

After a 1000mile trip you must have lots of ideas now!!!!! tell us what your plans for your lovely little trailer are????

Matching wheels, Paint and some diamond tread stone guard on the front.
That is a cool trailer. How does it handle at 70mph?
Observer
Thanks all,
The trailer pulled easy. I cruised at 70-75mph almost the entire time with no issues. As for ideas the list is long, but here are the highlights
matching wheels - possibly and axel change in the process
roof rack - I have a simple angle iron design in mind
RTT
solar electric battery system with some simple lights
A detachable work table for food prep
DO you have any suggestions for me?

Upgrade all the marker and tail lights to LED. I got mine at http://www.ledtrailerlights.com a while back.
