can anyone ID this trailer?

Appears to be a G-518 Ben Hur, but looks too short. Kudos to anyone who can come up with the answer, because I sure don't have one. Trying to figure out if it's worth a 2 hour trek to go pick it up and how I might go about getting the tired replaced since I have lots of budd rims laying around a few modern jeep rims but no 6 bolts...

Nice trailer.

I'm not entirely sure it's an actual Ben Hur though. It has the wrong wheels, wrong tires, not that that means much but the wheels mean a whole lot, and it is sitting way too low to the ground to be a 518

That trailer will be well worth the drive, believe me.

If the bed is not all eaten up with rust holes, it might be worth $400-500, depending on the condition of the tailgate.

Updated the first post with links to pictures on my photobucket instead of craigslist. Had the lunette removed, and the bed looks pretty rusty on the bottom... Also thought the 518's had boxed frames starting about 6 inches behind the lunette similar to the 3/4 tons. Thinking this may a civvy version

Added the pictures to your post. We like to host pictures here instead of other photo servers. Pictures get deleted, people move on, etc and then a thread becomes usless.

It's a Ben Hur. Somewhere along the line it was re-axled. Drawbar looks pretty mangled. If the box is rusted out, skip it.
