Hi everyone
I got a T3C a few weeks ago and have been asking a lot of
questions about the trailers as of late.I belive that it isent all
that bad of shape, but there is a lot of work to be done on it.
It was seting on a flat bed trailer in a small community 10
miles from my house. I found out who had it and called him
to see if it might be for sale. He told me that he just bought
it at a auction in Terrell Texas the day before and hadden
time to unload it yet. I offered him a 100.XX for it and he
smiled and said he gave 120.XX for it. I told him that I need
it for one of my jeeps and offered 150.XX and he took it.
It dosent have a data tag or serial number on
 . I didremove the rims off and tires and did some sanding on the two
rims. One was a solid disk rim 16X4.00 dated 3-45 and the
other was a reglar rim 16X4.50 dated 10-46 and thats all
I have as to trying to find out the dod.
I am going to try to post pictures of as it is now, before I
start trying to put her back to original as I much as I can
aford.
all coments god and bad are most welcome
 now andduring the total recall

That's gotta be the cheapest welding trailer in Texas.. Buy that $500 welder a guy is selling over on the 503 , put in a set of tanks, and you'll have a new job! That trailer was workin' hard in its previous life. I wonder where the welder went...I see the skids where it was slid in.

below are a few pics of the trailer after i have removed
bubbas add ons. its almost 90% sandblasted and has
more holes in it that joe lewis has been hit. so if the
weather stays good in a few weeks i can start on the patching
of the bed. i did find a suprise, both kelsey hayes and one
was 16x4.50 stamped 46 and the other was a military rim
16x4.00 stamped 3-45

What model trailer has a tail-light arrangement like that? I looked at almost all the photos on bantamt3c.com, but could not find any that look like that. Reason asking: I am considering buying a trailer with no title or data tags etc. and it looks like this one.

JeepFever, I'm not familiar with any 1/4 ton trailer with a "factory" tail light configuration like this. Based on the numerous modifications that you can see from Bob's posted images, this may also be one. This was a working trailer as opposed to a restoration or preservation (i.e. light duty) trailer. If I were to wager a guess, I'd say at some point, the PO cut the rear panels - to match - since most likely the original had a drivers' side tail light only. After this modification, it was easy for the |

hi all the weather here in tx has been off and own for a
while now but we have doen a little work on the t3c
and the below picks are the toung and springs done
as you can tell the paint job on the trailer isent original
i just want to make it my way (each to their own)
  so we had this ideal about the floor of the trailer
 we take a cj2a rear floor pan from a old willys
 the top one and cut out the rear
 after sandblasting the patch
 looks as if all will line up, just as a t3c bed
i will try to patch soon
take care

Not that it would be legal - but would be neat to see a CJ2A rear seat option in the Bantam for hauling the kids around like a hayrack ride

hi all
i have to many irons in the fire at one time, but i was able to
work on the t3c for a little. we cut out the bed of a 2a and
it looks as if the flooring matches the t3c
here are a few pics of the patches, i think after the grinding
the welds it will look great
i have the new led flush mounts tail lights on the way and will
try to start the body work on the fenders
