All Jacked Up - Restoration Starts
Our 1955 Airstream jack was not in good shape. Ruined. Toast.
So bad that Colin replaced it just to be able to move the trailer around.
When we were on our way to the fabulous fun and also first ever Alumapalooza in Jackson Center OH in 2010, we stopped at VintageCampers.com in Peru In and bought an old but new-to-us jack. It needed a lot of work.
On the frame, the jack plate was attached to the A-frame, but was rusted beyond repair. A new jack plate was welded to the steel.
The handle is now sand blasted.
