Here is the build of my Trail King drop deck. I started with a set of Alum rails a buddy had cut out for me on the water jet and I added 1/2 alum angle to them with 5/16 stainless screws.
![]() Next I used 1/4 alum plate for the floor and bolted the rails to them. ![]() ![]() Then I used the stock plastic parts from a tamiya trailer and made my own alum plate to mount the king pin in. ![]() ![]()

Next I did the deck out of 1/16 thick oak plywood and used brass C channel over the wood and the alum plate to finish the edges.
![]() ![]() I also soldered the joint were the C channel met in the edges and corners. ![]()
