I promised my wife I wouldn't be one of those guys that ended up with 10 flatfenders... who knew Bantams would be my potato chip? LOL

So I keep saying the time to buy it is when you find it... they keep finding me Wink  Had to.  This one has the two piece welded axle, Vee notches, the gusseted frame corners and the early hooks.  I can already feel it pulling the arrow 41 off the red one (#15849) and the fulton off the gray one (#9704) Embarrassed

Not sure about this light yet... it's not a 41, but the plate bracket is still there-

Mike,

I believe that tail light is correct, its an Arrow production change...I've seen several trailers with it a couple different lenses.

I had SN: 4409 which came with an Arrow 7341 lens...check out this page where I documented it.


By the way you are catching up with me now but yours appear in much better condition.

Cool info on the tail light, Art, thanks.  This is more than just the stimpsonite plastic lens.  In the third pic you can see the lamp housing is more square bodied than the tapered 41.  Will be interesting to clean it up and look for markings.  

Of the three I think this one is in the best overall condition in terms of legit resto, but it needs hinge work and the bed is weak along the front panel... "details" Wink

After taking full stock of the three trailers I have, the two others previously having undergone well intentioned resto's in the past, the decision has been made to take this one full circle.  While this one is basically untouched, it's weak in the floor and the bottom edge of the front panel.

Was in PA over the weekend for the picnic, took a slight detour on the ride back through Bensingers to get the ball rolling...

Only question now is red, or green? Wink

Look for signs when you disassemble.  I found my original color between the frame supports and the frame under the tub.  Many coats of paint everywhere else.
