1943 Bantam Trailer Lodi, Ca **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: trailer This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE:  **SOLD** Was listed at $2000

Dexter is listing his trailer for sale.  He has lots of pictures of it.

“I bought this gem months ago. It is unrestored, unmolested and in IMMACULATE original condition. Must see to believe. When I bought it, there was a thin coat of civvy paint, which came right off with repeated wipes of a wet rag. Under that is a coat of OD, which looks like it was put on 30+ years ago, and then the original OD. The shiny parts that you see are the areas where I applied some linseed oil.

The Good
– Original, unmolested, no-rust, solid body
– Original fenders (from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original data plate
– Original lunette
– Original 3-hole swivel
– Original leg
– Original chains, hooks, and wedges
– Original drawbar
– Original handbrake (works great)
– Original drain plug
– Original BO switch (from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original reflectors (faded side reflectors came from another 1943 Bantam)
– Original 1963 California black plate with PTI sticker
– Current DMV registration to my name
The not-so-good
– M38 rims
– Original 3-hole swivel is broken (I still have it, and it’s fixable. Currently on the trailer is a solid T3C leg, with a solid 2-hole swivel. It matches the paint of the trailer perfectly.)
– Original fenders were modified and are no longer with the trailer (As noted above, I’m including a set of original fenders from a 1943 Bantam. Layers of civvy paint just needs to be removed)
– Some remnants of the original wiring
– Additional holes added on rear crossmember due to bumperettes being installed
– One tail light bracket is not original
– No original tail lights
– One tiny hole on the front-driver-side corner”

Original Renegade stripes and color (though faded).  I believe the rims are original too.  However, the bumper looks like a swim ramp.

“Must have for rock climbing!! This jeep has only 41,000 original miles on it. Put a new fully enclosed BEST top on it now a year old. Runs great does need some TLC. Minor rust spots, carb. could use a cleaning, other minor fix-ups. We bought as a project car from original owner and don`t have the time it deserves. This is one great collectors item they don`t have any like this around.

1964 M-38A1 MRC-83 Scottsdale, AZ **SOLD**

• CATEGORIES: M-38A1 • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $9250.

“This is an actual USMC, MRC-83 Radio variant of the M38A1. Original condition, refreshed, have title and registration, original data plates, no rust.

The MRC-83 consisted of a TRC-75 radio mounted across the full rear of the Jeep on top of the wheel wells. There was no radio on this jeep when I got it nor would I want a 300 pound box in the back of the jeep. I did however add the rear seat. On the MRC-83, there was also a power supply case that mounted in between the wheel wells. The upper radio case and its components weighed in at 125lbs. The TRC-75 was an HF set 2-30mc. Power supply was from a 150 amp 24v DC brushless generator ran from the engine, which powered an inverter to make 115 vac 400 cy (the inners of the TRC-75 are aircraft radio components).

Because this was a radio vehicle, this jeep still has the 150 amp generator and a heavier duty suspension. NOTE: Some of you will not that the data tags are silver and think they are not original. To my knowledge, all USMC M38A1 radio vehicles had ALUMINUM data plates and they pretty much all have faded and look like this one.

This vehicle is pretty much all original. I purchased this vehicle several years ago from a gentleman in Colorado. He sold it because he wanted to restore a White Half Track. He told me he purchased it from a gentleman who had stored it for about 15 years. That man had purchased it from the city of Durango or Cortez (one of them) which had been using it as a park maintenance vehicle. I am an active Marine reservist and have over 20 years of commissioned service and I know from experience that ‘COM’ vehicles get very little use. They are parked in the ‘COM SHOP’ and a vehicle like this would be parked on a hill and not driven much for communication purposes. I am mentioning this because the original odometer had less than 1,000 miles on it before I replaced it. I believe that because it is such a late issued vehicle to the fleet marine force that it was used little, retired shortly after being put into service and because it is a comm. And based on its condition, I do believe that it probably had less than 1,000 miles.

When I repainted it, it had peeling white paint but I could see the original USMC hood markings which I duplicated, it had some different tires with dry rot and the canvas or leatherette was missing. That is it. I replaced these items, had it blasted and repainted in original USMC semi-gloss paint, replaced all the usual items like exhaust, brake shoes, brake lines, rotor, points, plug wires, etc., etc., basically anything and everything you would do when a vehicle requires a reconditioning. I also had the radiator boiled and tested. Other items were done like hoses, thermostat, radiator cap. I can go on. The vehicle was almost 100% rust free when I bought it. There was a small (quarter sized) hole by the front passenger seat and I had that professionally repaired prior to painting. The map box, tool storage area, underbody, etc., are all solid and rust free.

THIS IS NOT A RESORED VEHICLE. THIS IS AN ORIGINAL CONDITION 1984 USMC MRC-83 VARIANT OF THE M38A1. It would be a fantastic candidate for restoration. If someone simply wants to take it apart, clean the disassembled items and reassemble it, it would be good to go.
