Great looking trailer. Can you post some more pictures of the front showing the tongue from the sides and the hitch/safety chains and a front on shot so I can see the fronts of the frame corners. ------------- 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 |

Let me know if these work.    There is a bend in the Fulton that I need to straighten.

Here is the Arrow 41, 217 and a wheel cleaned up.  Ignore those ugly Phillips head screws. They are temporary until I find a suitable slotted head like the original had.  If there are small dents, I leave them, because I'm a little dented up too.   ------------- Dave 44 Willys MB |

Finished it up today, just have to get it inspected for a new title and VIN. I unfortunately had to add front and rear marker lights and reflectors, and a passenger side tail light for the State. Im a little frustrated with that because you can't title a trailer as anything, but a trailer, regardless of age, antique or classic etc.. In my opinion, the trailer looses some of its character when it gets modernized.    ------------- Dave 44 Willys MB |

Thank You .....A word of advise to my fellow Pennsylvanians: Don't buy a trailer in Pennsylvania with out a title if you want it on the road, what a pain!  ------------- Dave 44 Willys MB |

I bent some top bows from wood lath I got at Lowes for $10. Found this canvas on Ebay. Almost looks like it was made for it size wise. I just have to get another sheet to make and sew a front and rear panel on. I hope the wrinkles work out after it heats up. ------------- Dave 44 Willys MB |

Looks great! I've been looking for a set of the top bow metal brackets for mine... Might just have to fab a set of shorty bows if I don't find some soon. ------------- 1971 CJ-5 1946 T3-C S/N 30319 194? T3-C ACM 154291 (SOLD) 1967 Stevens M-416 (SOLD) |
