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.

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.

Thanks, you may be right...seller claims the bed at least is military. I had my doubts so posted here.

It's in rough shape so not sure it's worth buying, but does anyone know what model it is or is it even military? Seller says the bed size is 4x8 but I haven't verified it. Thanks in advance...

Andrew, do you still have the MOLT? I operated these during my time in the Air Force. I may be able to get some info for you if you're still in the hunt for it. Best regards, Dave

Many thanks for taking the time and giving a detailed answer. I'm learning from you guys and every time I do more research. Maybe in time the mystery will be solved. :)

A few more pics if it helps.

After some research I see the resemblance. Does anyone know the standard bed size for the Ben-Hur?

Thanks for your insight. Good chance I would use it for same purposes.

No title, being used as a farm or junk hauling trailer in rural Georgia. Besides the 72" long bed, it's 52" wide not including fenders.

Looking for your expertise on these things. Seller is advertising it as an old military trailer. I have my doubts, but maybe it was and has been heavily modded. 72" long bed. 38" tall from ground. Currently running 14 inch wheels. What say you? Thanks in advance, Dave

Hi Dan, old thread but interesting. Do you still have the trailer? Thanks, Dave
