Wagon/buckboard parts needed

I would like to build a buckboard, however, I am having problem finding some parts. I can't seem to find a 5th wheel or something similar for the fromt axle. I am also looking for the larger springs that mount between the body and axles. Does anyone know of a good place to buy these two items?

Thanks
Jeremy

Depending where you live, I would try the amish. What size of wagon are you trying to build? If its draft size i'd look at like draft equipment sites and what not.

It will be used with a 15.5-16 hand horse, may build it so that I can also use it with a smaller team. I have looked on many of the draft sites, but can't find the 5th wheel anywhere.

I would try the amish or I found this site. I'm not sure if its what your looking for but maybe? (you'll have to scroll down past the wheels) Carriage Parts For Sale - Southern California Cinderella Carriage CA Horse Drawn Carriage Wedding Carriages

Just looked at the price for a 5th wheel on that site,they,re not cheap,you may be better buying an old dray/cart with the turntable ,plus you might get your springs as well. What country are you in

Have you tried Kjiji? Or eBay?

Those people make GREAT products. We just got a cinderella carriage from them and it is AMAZING.

As for the springs, look up trailer part suppliers or spring shops. The leaf springs on carriages are smaller versions of what are on trucks and trailers.

lol was,ent crabbing their products eggs just saying I thought they were dear,if the op could drop on an old four wheeler,it would work out a lot cheaper to get the parts they need ,over here it is,ent called a fifth wheel ,its a turntable
