I picked up a trailer today that I strongly suspect is a USAF trailer for moving either equipment or munitions around a paved area. I'm guessing it originally had an axle in the front like a hay wagon but that was cut off and a regular tongue welded on, probably by a fire department. I'm sure they added the lights and maybe the PE-95k generator as well. It doesn't have any suspension and it has a spot to bolt a pintle on the back.
Just wondering if anyone has seen one of the same trailers and has any pics of what the front looks like or knows what it was used for. I've seen similar bomb trailers that have the tandem rear axles and a single front axle but they're definitely a newer model and a fair bit larger in size.
I've got another single axle trailer built kind of the same way, with the same tie downs and tires. Not sure what that one was used for either but I believe the sides were added after it was surplused.
