I found this little guy lurking in the underbrush today. Not sure what I'm going to do with it yet as it's now trailer #3 but I couldn't resist dragging it home. I'm told a uniform truck backed into it some years ago which didn't help the bodywork any.....           ------------- '49 CJ3A '51 CJ3A '42 Willys MB-T '47 Bantam T3-C http://eastcoastwillys.proboards.com/forum" rel="nofollow - East Coast Willys Association |

Big "ouch" on the LH side, but overall appears to be in better shape than the 2 I have pulled home the past couple years.  . . good to know it was saved from a possible bad fate.Love these trailers!

Exactly, Looks like it was in pretty good condition other than the body damage. Hard to find hitch and original tires to boot! ------------- Art C USAF (Retired) 47 CJ2A #134955 Project 48 CJ2A #206759 62 L6226 Station Wagon #58167 10900 45 T3-C #191 Project http://www.bantamt3c.com http://www.48cj2a.com |

I spent a year trying to find an original coupler for my other trailer and couldn't at any price until Lowenuf graciously hooked me up. And I was wondering about those tires. Do you think they really are original? ------------- '49 CJ3A '51 CJ3A '42 Willys MB-T '47 Bantam T3-C http://eastcoastwillys.proboards.com/forum" rel="nofollow - East Coast Willys Association |

See if they are Firestone Deluxe Champion 6.00-16s If so that is what they came with from Bantam. The tread sure looks like it... ------------- Art C USAF (Retired) 47 CJ2A #134955 Project 48 CJ2A #206759 62 L6226 Station Wagon #58167 10900 45 T3-C #191 Project http://www.bantamt3c.com http://www.48cj2a.com |

I just checked. They are! And in surprisingly good shape for 60+ year old rubber. Some minor cracking but not the typical dry rotted mess you'd expect to find around here.    ------------- '49 CJ3A '51 CJ3A '42 Willys MB-T '47 Bantam T3-C http://eastcoastwillys.proboards.com/forum" rel="nofollow - East Coast Willys Association |
