The stringers under this wagon were scabbed off a green feed wagon we had that was rotted up, but the stringers were good yet. You got it right that they're 6x6 treated pine. Not my 1st choice, but we didn't have to pay for them so i won't argue. I did have to weld some tube to the running gear to raise it up a little, if I remember right it was some 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 square tube.

For the deck boards, if you use bolts I would use 2 per stringer on each one, like you said a carriage head fomr the top for the deck and lag screws into the stringers. For the angle brackets you would have to make them say 5" long, then drill the holes 1/2" in then 3 1/2" in, then on the other side of the angle go 1 1/2" in and 4 1/2" in so the bolts don't interfere with each other.

You could nail hardwood, you'd just have to drill a pilot hole a little smaller than the nail you're useing.

I'm about 20-30 miles SW of Green Bay in Kaukauna. If you follow 41 down you'll be on the opposite side of town as I'm on.
