Hi all,
It has been a hot minute since I posted up here from the Case forum. Anyways, last year I lost the bid on what I believe was the civilian version of an army Bantam trailer. Regardless of letting that one go the bug has bitten me and I have been pondering a trailer similar to it that I could restore to match my tractors. Would be nice for yard/farm work and to take to shows with the tractors. Since the Bantam trailers are made of expensive unubtanium I was considering finding an old stepside pickup trailer that you see occasionally. I could either leave the fenders on or remove them (which I think would look more appropriate of a look behind a tractor and closer to looking like a Bantam). I am steering away from the fleetsides because they have a tackier look to them and would not match my 50s tractors very well (no offense to you fleetside guys out there). I have attached 2 pictures with this: The first being the Bantam that escaped me. and 2nd is a trailer that I saw at a farm show that is a similar concept to mine.
Chime in with your thought and thank you.
