New to the herd 1944 Mark 4 Bomb Trailer, restore

[MWMULES]

First off does anybody know or have links to one of these? I just happen to run across this for sale on FB this morning in a town 30 mins away. Went over made the deal and brought it home.
It looks like a MKII but has a belly pan and data plates says Mark 4 can't find anything on the net. I know the hoist and davit is not original but under the black paint it's OD and the hoist is 40's vintage and maybe was cobbled up while still in active service. Plate states in can carry 2,000 lbs!

I had one similar. Donated to the Lone Star Flight Museum. They were daisy chained behind M-6 Chevy bomb trucks and GTB's during WWII. Nice display item under B-17s and the like.

NDT do you or anybody else have a good picture of the bomb hold down chain or whatever was used for securing the load?
Got all the extra stuff cut off just got to finish grinding the slag then off to the sand blaster.

I hope you're bringing that to Findlay. I will be able to store it for you if you don't have room to bring it back. Nice find.

Sorry Monkeyboyarmy I am traveling light out to Findlay but might bring one of the bikes, you can see how much room it takes up on my little trailer. I need the space to clear out what I have stored up at Kips farm and at the Central Ohio Warehouse, swbradley1 place.
