Application
For Bantam T-3 trailers built during WWII. Bantam produced approximately 75,000 T-3 trailers during the war. The data plate was mounted on the front panel on the driver's side, near the outside edge at the top.
Installation notes
Mount the data plate on the front panel of the trailer, on the driver's side near the top. Use 4 screws or 4 rivets. The original data plate had the manufacturer (Bantam), model (T-3), serial number and date of delivery stamped on it. Bantam used day-year stamping on their data plates, where the dash was a sideways '1'.
Compatibility
Specific to Bantam T-3 trailers. NOT for Willys MBT trailers — these had different data plates with only month-year stamping. The Bantam data plate was made from brass, pot metal, steel or aluminium. Post-war civilian Bantam T3-C trailers (1946-1953) received smaller 1"x3" data plates, whilst the WWII version was 3"x3".
Historical context
The Bantam T-3 was the official 'Trailer, Amphibious, Cargo, 1/4-Ton, Single-Axle' for WWII jeeps. Bantam produced approximately 75,000 examples during the war as companion to the Willys MB and Ford GPW.
