This is a bantam t3 my dad bought last summer. its rough but weve gotten a floor for it a lunette, painted some rims olive drab and put new ndts on it, and straightened the bent side. will have it done hopefully by this summer.

Cool!  are you going to fab a floor or order one?  Is the tail gate a mod or factory?
Not in bad shape  nice to see them saved!

We bought a floor for it from ron fitzpatrick. the tailgate was added as the ww2 trailers didnt have one. the tailgate was done with the original back panel and was done very well. we could weld it back like it was originally but since it was done so well we might keep it the way it is. i figure its more useful with a tailgate anyway. i will probably use it during deer season for hauling deer. other than the tailgate though we are going as original as possible. we cut that bumper off it and ordered a new brake cable. we are going to do the lights as original too.
