John,
Off topic a little but where do you get your drill/tap bit? I have seen them but never had the opportunity to use one.

Here's a eBay link.
These bits(good ones) are fairly expensive.
2cents,
~John

Hey John, when do we get to part 2 of 6?
Just a little razz
Even at $125 you're definitely in it for the right price.

Well,
I posted pics about 6 times in 6 different posts. Does that count???? Or maybe when Jody get his Mig Feeder Boom Am Done!!!!!
Auctually, the wood, I stained with waterproofing last night, should be dry, so all I have to do is head to "HF"(our equivilent).
To get some lights.
and run it inside garden hose, along the frame of the trailer.
More pix tonight.

Greenlee makes the drill taps. Use oil, avoid the rust they last a long time. 5/16-18 is less than 7 dollars.

Using a truck front end like that is a great idea John,...I like how is allows the trailer deck to be closer to the ground.
