First post and have always had an interest in vintage style trailer. Have had 2 Bolers in the past that I did frame off`s on but have wanted a early Shasta. Need to get the tow vehicle on the road, a 1932 Ford pickup and then will go looking for a project.

Boler`s are ok but very small living space. Hard to find one that is complete and has not been modified to suit someone else's taste. Door fit is a real issue as the structure is weak. Both mine were 13 footers and have never been in a 17 foot version. Fairly easy to take the shell off the frame. Frames were an issue as well as they tend to crack around the axle area. Both of mine had no issues with the frame.
