★ Essential body part for the restoration of WWII 1/4-ton military trailers. The Bantam T3 and Willys MBT were virtually identical in construction.
Application
Suitable for Bantam T3 military trailers (built by American Bantam Car Co., Butler, PA) and Willys MBT trailers (built by Willys-Overland Motors Co., Toledo, Ohio). These 1/4-ton cargo trailers were produced during WWII from approximately 1942-1945 as amphibious trailers for Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps.
Installation notes
Side panel is welded to the trailer frame. Check fit and connection to front and rear panels before installation. Professional welding work required for correct installation.
Compatibility
Fits military Bantam T3 and Willys MBT trailers. NOT suitable for the civilian Bantam T3-C variant, which has different construction elements (such as stake pockets and tailgate reinforcements). Both military models had virtually identical body dimensions.
Historical context
During WWII, Bantam built approximately 75,000 T3 trailers and Willys over 60,000 MBT trailers. These amphibious 1/4-ton cargo trailers were designed to be towed behind jeeps and could float when the floor drain plugs were closed.
