Beautiful work. Labor of love not expedience. For a trailer, I would go another route. 

I got what was left of a parts truck. It had been cut up to make a dump trailer out of a rare tandem drive K series IHC. The complete truck, un cut was worth far more than putting the dump bed on some frame rails and a suspension.

question I have which I didn't see asked !! IS ::: are You looking to build a truck or trailer. we see this Mack suspension was from a modified trailer. determination is to find a Mack suspension??  as previous stated ; would make more sense if a trailer is being constructed to find a trailer set up  building a (Mack)  pictures appreciated 

Sorry for any confusion. Yes we would like to still use this as a trailer. I was hoping to be able to find matching parts as everything bolts together easily. I understand that is becoming a long shot. If I can’t find what I need, we will have to modernize/customize the whole project. Very doable but at a much higher expense.

having that heavy suspension, be interesting to see what the trailer looked like. did a clever job to cover /seal the banjo. have to wonder if wheel bearings were changed to grease or filled the banjo with gear oil. rear bull gear usually did the movement to circulate oil to wheel bearings. low use trailer ;  oil in hub was good enough ??
