Rusty1340 What does a repro tub cost these days?
Is it US steel or China steel? Nice work.

Maybe this will work.

Great work on that resto, pvtjorge! Way to save the green iron!

 

[pvtjorge]

Thanks for the compliments.
I spent a little over 5 months in restoring the trailer. It took me four years to restore the M38.
BTH, "pvtjorge" or "private jorge" is my pet Shih Tzu's handle. He is camera shy and I don't have a good photo of him to post yet.

Here's my 1952 Strick m100 painted 24087. I tried to make the tailgate look somewhat like the original panel.

Tail gates on a BT3/M100/M416 are sort of like a de-clawed cat: I would NEVER do it to the animal, but if it has been done already by someone else, it is sort of nice to live with

The best of both worlds is a Bantam BT3-C ("C" for "civilian"). Bantam's answer to the post VJ Day question: "WHAT are we going to do NOW?" They kept on building the BT3 "jeep" trailer that they built all through WWII but they stopped painting them OD green and put tail gates in them.

Here is mine, all tarted up to look like a soldier (but that won't last long)

Do you have any pics of it extended - Erect?

Thanks!

Here are some recent upgrades to my M101A3? trailer(data plate says M101A3, but appears to have an A2 bed) Anyway, a very clean trailer picked up from WPAFB. I added a 12v taillight system, so now its dual with the 24v also. Added two Jerry can holders on the front. The cover is a bit weather beaten, so I covered the top with OD green vinyl. I currently have it loaded with all my camping/bugout gear. Kept in the garage (wifes van outside) I recently pulled it 900 miles round trip with my sons M109 and aside from not being able to see it, it pulled great. It also pulls great with my Land Rover Discovery. I am looking for a spare to match the HMMWV wheels currently on it.
