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)

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was on eBay.

Jason’s got this Willys MBT trailer for sale. He reports that it has never been rebuilt or repainted.

“Up for auction is an original WWII Willys MB Trailer! These trailers are super rare to find in this condition if you can even find them at all! This is an unmolested, uncut, original trailer. I purchased this many many years ago from a gentleman that was in his 80s and had used it behind his Willys MB. The trailer is not registered and has never been used by me. It has always sat in my garage since purchasing it. I do not have a title for it as there was no title when I purchased it. I will include a bill of sale. There are no numbers stamped on the reproduction data plate so you can add what you wish. The trailer has a few markings of 293 stamped on a few pieces of metal. The original leg also has a stamping on it.
The trailer is not in factory new condition. It is over 70 years old and incredibly hard to find one in this shape. It would make a fantastic addition to someone’s WWII Willys MB or Ford GPW!
I do not even want to part with it as I’m well aware of how rare it is but I need to free up some room for other projects.
The hand brake works. I have never plugged in the cable but the lights and all wires appear in good condition so I assume they all work as well.
Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer and I will do my best to assist where I can.”

Looks like an inexpensive trailer solution.

“I have a Bantam Trailer which is from the late 40’s or early 50’s made in Butler PA. It was originally red in color if that tells you anything, obviously a civilian model with the tailgate. (Military issue tailgate did not fold down as it had to be watertight and float.) In any case this trailer is all there and could be used as is if you re-wire the lights. It has some rust but is a solid piece. The all important cast iron tongue, landing leg and hitch is functional and intact. Unfortunately I do not have a title for it. I inquired and it can be had w/some paperwork. If I get the title the price will increase.
I will send pics if you are serious… but you know what they look like.
It still has the original wheels, tires, lights and tailgate and it rolls easily.
I’m somewhat flexible on the price, I restore antique vehicles and will eventually get to this. Restored they go for $1700+”

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $500.

Some history of what I know about it;
