Thanks to all for the continuing comments.

Thank you!! I've been putting some materials together from a lowboy build. I've been looking for that outer beam for a while. Thanks again!

Got my first load today...


Maybe someday we'll convert (my son needs to get it as a Christmas gift first)

Thanks for looking,

I think you have actually done a kick a55 job in designing and building that lowboy from scratch. Give yourself some credit man! I like your work.
