“Pickup bed trailer made from the Frame, Axle and Bed from a Forward Control (cabover) Jeep pickup. The forward control jeeps are becoming kind of rare and this bed may be just the ticket for the completion of a nice restore project. Or use it as built as a trailer. Pretty complete including original jeep tailgate with a few dings and very minimal rust. E-mail if interested or if you need more information.”

Mark just listed this nice looking trailer over at warjeeps.com.

This looks more like a Sterling trailer to me than a Bantam T3C.

“Listing up my trailer. I believe it’s a Bantam T3C but it has no tags and slight variations from what I can see online.

This would look perfect behind your Willys / AMC / CJ Jeep any model. I know a few people with these restored behind their JK and it looks great.

It has a few different surface colors and surface rust, but no rot. The floors were replaced probably 30+ ago with flat steel. But, it’s a solid trailer. The reflector on the tailgate is my favorite part, it’s an old school marble reflector.

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)
