I have a WWII M5 bomb trailer that I will be posting for sale in the classified section, but my question is since I've haven't seen too many of these even at some shows, are these that rare or in to bad of shape to take to a show?
Mine isn't pretty, but it does roll down the street pretty good behind my '75 Dodge W200 (civy m880) with a 2750lb tractor on the back.

I had one about 2 years ago that was just surplused out. It had been used sence WWII as a warehouse trailer, so it was very complete and had no rust or rot. It even had the cart in the tool box on the front and it had the correct size tires. I sold it to a guy in Ohio (I think) who had a restored Chevy bomb truck.
I have been very lucky here in finding WWII Navy Mark II bomb trailers. I have 3 here now. The funny part is on MCAS Cherry Point there is around 20 plus of the Navy WWII bomb trailers still being used. In the area I work at there are about 20 I see every day.

Sorry, I am tired, and should not be on the computer. My statment above should say " It even had the CHART in the tool box" not cart.
One more item, at the same sell I got a very nice WWII airdrone trailer that I still have here.
