makes sense when I bought it the wood in the center was torn out and I could see the rust and all sitting on top of the plate. the old man I got it from said it was like that for a while. I can imagine being up here in the northeast dealing with rain, sleet, snow, salt etc she’s taken a beating.
Do I need a kingpin plate and pin?

Some of the details in your pictures I cannot make out. Here is a picture of a worn out pin and a worn out plate in my scrape pile.
If yours is working in ether one or both of of these directions it is time for a a whole plate and pin deal.
Would I be afraid to pull a trailer with a hole rusted in the plate. No, not if the rest of it is good.
If the rest is OK
Would I put an annual inspection on that trailer? No.
Just my opinion and some pics of what to look for.Magoo1968, God prefers Diesels and Diesel Dave Thank this. -
