XM143 Bomb Trailer question

Unread post by bharr » September 13th, 2011, 9:23 pm

Does anyone know anything about one of these? What's it worth? The data plate says "XM143 2 ton 4 wheel bomb trailer 2-15-54". It looks a little like a drop deck flat trailer (if that makes sense). Pintle hitch with no visible brake system. Sorry no photos at this time Guy is asking 1K-negotiable, deck is average, no major rust, tires weather cracked but usable. Any help appreciated!!!!!

You might want to try the G503.com site. They have a trailer section and a lot of guys there are familiar with the older stuff.

Here is a picture fron the TM 9-500 dated SEPTEMBER 1962. When you click on the link and when it has finnised loading then click on the pic to bring into a larger readable size. Then after it loads right click on it and print picture for a hard copy.
