picked up this tc-3 a couple days ago. aired up the tires and after a 10 mile test the bearings were cool, so I trailered it 400 miles home...lol
trailer is in fair to poor shape, but will be a year project with my limited skills. but it will look good behind my cj-2a Blake Pensacola,FL |

No tailgate? Nice find. What color will you be giving it? What's the SN on the data plate?

The tail gate came with the trailer, but hinge was broken so I took if off when I drug it to the pressure wash with " Leapin' Lena' "
lot of orange over the green...lol http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y479/blake0414/DSC01321_zpse5a5525a.jpg http://i1276.photobucket.com/albums/y479/blake0414/DSC01319_zps57b6cc56.jpg |

Finally got around to working on the trailer. the body came off the frame pretty easy. The frame was shot. The previous owner had added some frame rails on the outside of the frame not touching the body. As the old frame rusted the body just came loose.
I have a M100 frame in really good shape and plan to put the TC=3 body on it. Has anyone done this and found any problems doing it. thanx...blake |

Never seen it done so yours would be the first IF you do go that rout. Interesting though.
