    Where to find a new rear cross member?

    Any suggestions on where to find a new rear cross member with bunk brackets attached already? Mine is rusting out and I new to cut and replace it. If not what about the cross member and the bunk brackets separate to attach later. I know about Eastern Marine but anything else?

    Your local welding shop should be able to fabricate it pretty easy. My BIL did it for me many years ago in just a couple hours one evening after normal work hours.

    I wouldn't think that any trailer parts store would carry a cross-member. As, tdt91 said, you're going to need to have one made by a local welding shop.

    Eastern has some close to what I need but was wondering if there might be a better site I haven't heard of?
