I need a toolbox on my welding trailer, and have found out that they make
odd shaped ones for trailer tongues. I am very limited on my side spaces,
one side of the welding trailer being taken up by a very handy table made of
plate. I suppose I COULD run a standard rectangular one down the other
side, but think that the O2 and propane tank would fit better there.

That leaves me with the tongue. I'm not going to carry a lot, but am
wondering about tongue weight. I'll probably get another screw jack for the
front, as this one has no dolly wheel, is light, and is welded in the wrong
place. Anyone have any luck with these? Any brand name suggestions?
Stamped plate or white? Aluminum? It's gotta be a good one and seal
tightly.

TIA

Steve

You're a welder, right? Build one that fits! Smile

These guys make all kinds of stuff for towing. Mostly import, though. It
looks like the catalog is down right now, so check later. I've installed
the stainless boxes before. Beware the only polished surface is the door.

Good luck.
