UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $2500.
Shane is selling this Bantam trailer with what he says are original wood bows and canvas.
“1947 Bantam T3-C Jeep Trailer. Everything Original other than repainted 35 years ago. Excellent condition – two small tears in the tarp. This trailer has been stored for the past 30 years in a garage – no rust. The tarp is original with the two small noted tears. The bows are all original as well as the lights. I have the original set of tires/rims as well 6.00×16 but am running 6.75×15 currently. Beautiful trailer to pull behind anything with ease – these were civilian versions of the WWII Jeep trailer. “American Central Manufacturing (ACM) supplied tubs and frames to the American Bantam Car Company for the Model T3 and also to Willys Overland Motors Inc for the Model MB-T who were both under contract during WWII to produce 1/4 ton amphibious trailers (this trailer is not – has the fold-down tailgate) and kept parts interchangeable between the two models. Through military records we can determine how many amphibious trailers were built and when, but there currently is not any known “Official” civilian production records. Civilian trailers were noted at T3-C.””
Detailed additional pictures of the original tarp cover? Trying to recreate one
