UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $950.

“This 1948 T3-C (S/N#18707) is as an excellent restoration candidate. There’s very little bad about the trailer. I’d say the biggest deal are some non-stock holes drilled into the body. Easily filled back in with MIG/TIG and grinder. The floor is very solid but intervention is suggested to stop the surface rust which is just beginning to pit the steel. There is no rust though anywhere on this trailer. Correct rims, original tires hold air. Springs in perfect shape. Top rails are straight as an arrow. Fenders are in fantastic shape. Stake pockets are not bent. Nice tail gate. No bondo anywhere. The data plate is there but not easy to read.

I have all of the internals for the fulton coupler which come with it, however I do not have the correct 8 sided knob (I have a 4 sided knob which will get the job done). The trailer and tailgate chains are not original but easily procured. The rear lights (operable) and reflectors are not original (yet functional) and will take some time and searching for the correct parts….but that’s half the fun!

Blaine spotted this Spencer trailer. I’m not familiar with the brand. Here’s a bit of history.

“New tags, bearings, and swivel jack. Has been done with bed liner, new wiring, and led lights last year. The lights still need installed. Great trailer.”

This trailer is located at Camp Pendleton, California. If someone is interested in it, contact James King at  dragonmaster3529@gmail.com.  James King, the curator of the Mechanized Museum in Camp Pendleton and the trailer is located at the bone yard of the museum.

This looks like a K-38 cable trailer. And, it is built by the same company (Highway Trailer), but the tag and wheels suggest to me this is a pre-WWII model. The Highway trailer company of Edgerton, Wisconsin, began as a wagon works. In 1917 it shifted to trailers, large and small. This one would look better behind a vintage spoked vehicle from the 1920s.
