Found a trailer in the scrapyard

Just wondering if anyone can help id the thing before I get it tomarrow. Its got rounded fenders, and a tailgate. Looks like it belongs there. Pretty good job if someone added it. Regular round tail lights like you would buy in the store for a trailer. Ball hitch. Didn't look like Mike's trailer hitch. Didn't have the kick stand. Probably only stuck out past the trialer box about 2-3 feet.

Oh, piece of sheetmetal cut to fit the floor

If the ball hitch is stock on it, what size is it likely to be?

 

Didn't have the camera with me didn't expect to find something worth pulling out of there

I'll get pics tomarrow. Just trying to figure out if I can hook the ball to my truck, or have to get a trailer to haul it.

It's in reasonably good shape. The sides looked good, the frame looked in good shape, the springs looked a little better than wimpy's, but you could still see thru each individual leaf. The bottom was gone, but I can weld in new metal for that if thats all thats wrong with it.

 

1 7/8" if original Bantam Civvie. Bring that and a 2" and you should be set.

My hitch isn't original - the original one would have a screw-down fulton style ball socket, attached to a "V" shaped piece that bolts through the "A" arms up front.

Kick stands are often missing, as they get left down then catch on a curb or something and break off. Dont want to say how often I've forgotten to swing mine all the way up.

 

Thanks Mike. I wondered about the 1 7/8 size. I guess I'll stop off tonight on the way home and grab one.

 

Gone


Too late
