BUT, I think the older trailers with real wood are worth the effort of bring back to tip top shape. I love my 68.
I will second this. We own a 67 Overlander! We have about 4000$ invested right now! We don't have any interior finishes in yet. We have new tires,axles,frame,floor and wiring. We hope to have her all fixed up for 10 000$ . The initial condition of the trailer was about the same as the original poster.
