Awesome! You might find some windows/parts at vintagetrailerparts.net - lots of stuff for Spartans there. Plus it's fun to look at all the trailers they have for sale, as well as the archive of those that have sold.
Edit: looks like their new site is vintagecampers.com

Hi, From a vintage trailer guy located in Santa Ana, CA. It's good to see lots of activity here.

Glad to hear that you MADE IT!
During your rebuild, you need to extend the tongue by 6". You can do it and still not make it look geeky. You only need an extra 6", to prevent the jack knifing during back up maneuvers. As you experienced, damage occurs to the trailer front, AND the truck tail lights.
You need to connect with Chris, aka Trailertrasher located in the high desert. He's lots closer to you than Dan at Vintagecampers.com in Peru, IN. If Chris has what you need, his prices are just a fraction of Dan's.
My offer of free (for pick up) vintage brake and hub parts still stands.
John
