Hey Walt.. I was wondering about you buddy!

Good to hear you are still around and just busy expanding your "warehouse".   ;D

I also would like to see some pic's when you are done, this actually makes a lot of sense and sounds like a cool project.

Nice tra.....er "shed" Walt. ;D Does it have barn doors, or a roll up door. If it has a reefer unit on the front, you could have an air conditioned shed!!!! 8)

It's a standard Morgan box, with roll-up door. Laminated wood plank floors, aluminum sides, with some 1/4" plywood on the sides. Weighs 3-4000 lbs.

No reefer...I gave that stuff up years ago.   ;) No AC either.  :P
It would be nice if it was a 'reeferigerated' box...insulated, and cool in the summer.

Oh...scratch the 'shed' designation...I need a permit for that. It will now be referred to as a 'trailer'.  :D

The possibilities are endless....a workshop, garage, fill it with shelves and parts, paint room, bar  ;D, etc, etc.
For now, it's for outdoor equipment, and I'm seriously considering a small paint area in one end.

As Joe said... I could use a couple of these!

I'll get some pics up in a few days....

Yup! ...and I posted (somewhere) that I didn't recognize it as a 66-67 battery tray.

Storage trailer...It took me 3 days to get it moved into the final position (no wheels!)! :P  Still doing some grading around it. For now, I just have some yard equip and some toys in it... JD425  lawn tractor, Banshee ATV, KDX 250 dirt bike, and a 6 ft wide mower for my Kubota tractor, so it's about 2/3 full already!

Joe,

What has you stumped? The trays are the same (all 65 Skylark) but the GS brackets are unique.

Yea it never stops for me. If it can go wrong it probably will!!!LOL!!!!

Walt you are right, so where do I get these brackets? I know they don't make em. So can you give me any leads? I don't even know what i'm looking for. Do you have any pics? Is it something I can fabricate?

Joe,

Relax. I have an extra set in the stash. Send me pm with your address and I'll dig them out today. I know they're going to a good cause!

Joe,

I know you'll need the inner fender bracket and the core support bracket that bolts to the "flange" that covers the radiator tank, but do you also need the bracket that bolts to the front of the core support? I think that bracket was common to all Skylarks. There is a view of the parts in the service manual, look on page 99 in the Electronic Garage/65 GS Manual.
