Hopefully that worked . Bearing are packed, title is clean, with advise from here and other sites, restoration (the right way was done) kept everything I could original, original owner added a couple odd things. But my work was to keep it original as possible. My two little ones don’t fit in the Shasta anymore.

Hope the pic came through, i have a chance to,purchase a possible "1952" trailer, problems are the usual run away problems.... no title, window is missing in front, obviously a lot of rot will be in it, tires are flat and so on. Upside, only $100-$150. I was thinking it might be worth hauling it out just for the parts that have survived. I haven't gone and looked at it yet, if I do I will send more pictures. Any chance someone might be able to guess what type of trailer it is? I know it's only a small pic and only of the front but thought I might put this out there.

On the no 99 set up there are two bulbs, 1- smaller with 1 wire, 2- larger with 2 wires, which one is the running, brake and signal bulb? I've got the wires ready to attack, but it was a mess when I cleaned up the old wires, so of course being not very electronic savvy I wanted to check here before I start connecting .... thanks and sorry for all the questions

Does anyone know where to get no. 99 backing plates for my 58 Shasta? They are out of stock on vintage trailer supply. Figured I should replace them since the old wires are so brittle. I have decided to run new wiring for my Shasta, found a few wires that were simply disconnected, which I am sure was the problem with the lights, but since I am on there I might as well put new stuff in. Seem a previous owner changed out the wires some time back, and changed the colors... so I'm a little confused on which light bulb is the blinker, running light and brake light. I'll get a picture to show, I have no doubt one of y'all know the answer.

Thanks Vikx! I will def look into that... some of it is over my head , why can't it be tested while connected to the tow vehicle? I'll get a battery for the trailer and connect it up. I might just rewire it all and hopefully I can get the wires connected without removing the skin. Always learning ... and can't wait for my next trailer project, when this one is done... been eyeing and older can ham that's been sitting in a neighbors yard for a few years. Just can't figure out how to break the ice and make an offer ..yet!

58 airflyte , thanks for the info... I have taken the skin off before I just didn't want to have to do it again. I am far from an electrician so I'll probably just replace all of the wires, and a ground lead for each light as suggested

I unfortunately need to retire my Shasta... not sure what happened but can't get the ground to work properly. I figure the best idea is to just rewire the whole thing (I know should have just done this when I had the skin off, but didn't realize there was a wiring issue) Is there anyone who has the wiring layout for my Shasta or know where I can look it up. Worst part was the Shasta was basically done, and now I will have to pull the back skin off again! Thanks for any help.
