UPDATE: This collection is still available
(06/23/2013) Pamela is helping her father sell his 1944 MB, Converto Trailer, and Parts. While the jeep has been rebuilt in the past, it hasn’t been started in some time. Email Pamela for more information: prwbrim1622@hotmail.com
What part of La. are you located? Thanks
The trailer looks more like a Bantam T-3. Here is a link to a converto trailer.

I just bought a trailer just like this one, and it’s registered as a ’44 Willys trailer. The friend I bought it from said it was made by Willys, but there’s no data plate to confirm that. We did find a serial number on top of the tongue. I didn’t think Willys made any trailers until now. I’m still learning about the variety of manufacturers that made ’42 to ’53 1/4 Ton trailers.

Also there are many more parts that go with the jeep and trailer for the price listed. There were just too many parts to list. For a complete listing please email me. Pamela
Steve E.,
I haven’t seen this trailer in person but this trailer IS likely a Converto T6 or T7 and was probably built for the Navy. One of the easiest visual clues to differentiate besides the data plate is the brake handle. It is a different mount than your MBT. The trailer should also have a different reflectors and pointer cut in the notch in the front draw bars. A number of manufactures produced the WW2 1/4 ton and while converto made the dumper trailer they also made a standard 1/4 ton as you see in the pictures, The did produce very few when compared to Bantam a Willys making this a pretty rare trailer.
All parts on this jeep are original!!!
It’s all very nice and probably a good deal… but would sell faster “ala carte”. Pam should price the jeep separate from the trailer; separate from those great parts. Put the parts individually on eBay and/or Craigs List. I need a passenger seat, for example, but just that one item (at a reasonable price).
