Purchased this trailer in unrestored condition from a friend who had an avocado grove. The trailer had lots of surface rust and in very good condition…for it’s age. Trailer went through eight months of restoration. Took that long because I could not spend every day on it. The trailer was completely disassembled. Every bolt was taken off and replaced with grade 8 bolts. The entire trailer was professionally sandblasted, metal treated for rust and was powder coated fire cracker red. Because this trailer did not have a data plate, I have had this trailer dated as close to a 1946 or 1947 approximately year of manufacture. A correct reproduction data plate is in place but no serial number is stamped on it at this time. Every part has been gone over and or replaced. It has two brand new NDCC military tires on it that have about 5 miles on them as I have not used this trailer since restoration. Trailer has been kept inside a storage unit since restoration. Also, included with the sale, are three custom made, correct bows that were made for this trailer. That’s also including the hardware. The taillights are from a Model A type and the trailer wiring is brand new. Total invested on this restoration is over $3800. I spared no cost in this build. The pictures do no justice for this trailer. You would have to come see it to appreciate.
This is a very cool, rare historic trailer. The bed is in excellent shape and it comes with a 1/2″ rubber thick mat. Trailer has a swing down tailgate and tongue drop down leg and a four flat plug for the taillights. It also has a 2″ ball hitch. The bed is 6′ x 4′. These military trailers are getting harder and harder to find in this nice of a condition. I have title in hand. $3500 obo.
Looks better than new. Nicely done.
Thank you Lew!
