Hi everyone!
Who made this trailer? I bought this trailer a few years back under the impression that it was a home built unit. It was in very poor shape and because I was told it was home built I did not worry about any mods or paint color I chose to make (glad about that, because I really enjoy it like it is) also because I thought it was home built I didn't bother to take pictures before I started or during the resto. (sorry about that, I'll take pictures from now on regardless) Anyway, after restoring it, I thought it would be nice to show it to the old man I was told built it. He thought it looked great and was very glad to see it fixed up and back in use. I particularly liked the fenders because they have a vintage look, so I asked him what they came off of. He said "I have no idea, they were on it when I got it" I was like what, wait...I thought you built this trailer? He said "no, I bought it from a guy in Alabama and it was just like this when I got it" he went on to say he thought it was a "KIT" trailer. I had used it for a couple years after fixing it back up and one day I was bored and thought I would see if I could find anything out about an old trailer kit offered by Sears and Roebuck or whoever. Well, there was nothing out there at all on the "Kit" trailer subject, but plenty on old 1/4 ton trailers. The more I looked the more I was intrigued, but soon realized that I was having trouble finding a match. I was just about to give up and call this trailer a "one of homebuilt" figuring, that it must have been the Owner in Alabama that built it, and then I stumbled across a picture of one that looked just like mine did when I got it (except it looks a lot better than mine) same blue paint fading off the red oxide primer, same fenders, same same same, everything about it was the same except it had extra set of tail lights with guards on them (probably original, where the others are add on aftermarket like mine) So, I no longer figure it to be home built, because the likelihood of two of them being built exactly the same with the same blue paint and all in someones back yard are slim, not impossible, but slim. Well enough of my chatter, here are some pictures of mine and the one and only picture I have been able to find of another one like mine (no, the person that took the picture hasn't a clue of the manufacture either)
