any idea what this is?

I got this for free yesterday, or at least for the price of taking the crap that was in it to the dump.

Kinda cool, it's a heavy little bugger, pretty solid for the most part.

is it actually a military trailer of some sort ? I'd guess 40's or 50's from the fenders.

Has slots for stake sides, and small sleeves for bows possibly.

I'm almost certain I saw someone post a pic of another one, but can't find it now....

just curiosity more than anything else.

It looks pretty custom.

yep, I like free s***. ;p

gillz, it's definately a factory trailer from somewhere.


coat of paint and some better tires and it'll be a solid little trailer. it's likely use is going to be moving heavy cruiser s*** from one end of the yard to the other, so that coat of paint could be a ways off...

Not military,, but looks like one of the many trailers that came out right after WWII from the trailer companies that built the 1/4 ton trailers.. Batam stayed with the mil look and only civilized it a little.. some of the other companies made new trailers using the same build plans,, ie modded the shape of the fenders and made tailgates.. but still used old leftover springs etc.. How bout a picture from the underside?? Looks like a trailer my neighbor has that was made by Willy's in the late 50's ..
