UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $1000.
Ryan’s listed this Bantam trailer. Includes 3 combat rims.
“When the U.S. Army developed the World War II jeep, it needed a cargo trailer that would track behind the vehicle.
The first trailer was called the “Trailer, 1/4-ton, 2-Wheel, Cargo, Amphibian”.
Bantam built 73,689 of these, and possibly more after the war.
In 1945 as the war was winding down the production switched over to a civilian version the T3-C trailer.
In early production parts created for the military version were used – including combat rims which came apart for easier replacement of tires in the field.
Pinning a production month is not possible but the combat rims, the serial number 2521 and other features put it early in 1946. (see the database on the T3-C link below)
This trailer is ready to be restored and comes with:
The original dataplate and a reproduction
3 combat rims
3 standard rims
5 military style tires
3 standard tires
5 new inner tubes
Spare wheel bracket
2 Jerry can holders
Misc parts as seen in the pictures
The trailer rolls easily (I’m an old guy and I can pull it across the lawn)
The picture tells the story, but feel free to ask questions via Craigslist email

This will be a cash – in person transaction only, scammers – don’t bother.”
Great trailer with extra parts,. Needs a little work but looks really good.. I’ll have to put this on my X-mas list.
