Resurrection of A trailer I built in 1986. Including replacement of the Original Mobile home hubs with wheels that fit myChevy Truck

Neat method of spinning on the lug nuts, that's got to be fun. Does "same as your truck" mean this was on purpose to be able to share the spare?

Yes, i planned it so the tires and wheels were interchangeable

Your trailer went from retired to re-tired 😆 Thanks for sharing. Now I know how to pack and seat bearings. How did you know this amazon product would fit your axel?

Thanks for asking! It was a bit of SWAG. I searched on Amazon for retro hubs for Mobile home axles. The one pictured came up. I had one of the hubs off and had cleaned the original bearings so I could read the numbers on the cone. The big cone from my old hubs had the number 25580, and when I examined all the photos on Amazon describing the replacement kit also hav a bearing cone with the same number. I ordered one to make sure it fit, which it did. Then ordered a second kit. I knew before hand that my 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, had the 6X5 1/2 bolt pattern.
