Application
Suitable for WWII-era 1/4 ton military trailers with round mudguards, including Willys MBT trailers (1942-1945) and Bantam T3 trailers. Note: the later M416 trailer (Vietnam-era) used square mudguards and is not compatible.
Installation notes
Fitting is carried out via the original mounting holes in the trailer frame. Mudguards are mounted on the outside of the frame. Check before fitting that all mounting points on the frame are intact.
Compatibility
NOT compatible with M416 trailers — these have square mudguards. Willys MBT and Bantam T3 trailers both used round mudguards and are compatible. M100 trailers (Korea-era) also had round mudguards.
Historical context
During WWII, Willys-Overland produced approximately 60,000 MBT trailers and Bantam approximately 75,000 T3 trailers. These compact trailers with their characteristic round mudguards carried essential supplies behind the Willys MB and Ford GPW jeeps.
