Thanks, you may be right...seller claims the bed at least is military. I had my doubts so posted here.Looks commercial to me.
Yep, that's what kind of attracted me to it too. It's about 50 miles away so I might swing up that way and take a closer look.I can't help with an ID, but the bed is pretty cool with those stakes pockets and double tailgates.
It does have a military look to it, and there have been so many trailers used and not well documented, particularly around WWII, it could be military.
Worth saving, in my opinion.
Cheers
Thanks. You're right about the the fender design and lack of tiedowns. The more I look at it I think it could be made from a 1940ish pickup bed with tailgate added on front. Found this photo of a 1940 Chevy 1 ton pickup.That looks to me like an old agricultural trailer.
You can tell the fenders were once much more of a flowing design than any military trailer would ever be.
No tie down hooks or even remnants of them.
Clearly it can handle a 500-1000lb log without any issues.
Worth saving in my opinion.
Great ranch trailer.
