today I picked up a 1940s bantam Jeep trailer! long story....

well i went past this old gas station with 4 buildings on the corner of the main drag out here, went to town, came back through and the doors were still open and there was a beautiful red CJ5 sitting in one of the buildings. so we met the woman selling the stuff out of these buildings, she showed us around and holy:dung: JEEP PARTS GALORE MY FRIENDS!! SHE HAD REPAIR PANELS,DOORS,FENDERS,TUBS,WILLY'S,PARTS,FRAMES,MOTORS,HOODS,TOPS (STILL IN BOXES) A RESTORED WILLYS STAKE BED,JEEPSTER, DJ3 (if im not mistaken ((4X4)) ) AND JUST A :dung: LOAD OF STUFF!!!!!! AND DID I MENTION SHE HAD 2 OLD CJ5 MUD RACERS???:cool: all the stuff is practically brand new, and she is wanting to sell, please email me at gaglianijo@gmail.com if you are interested in anything she has, i will give her your email, and you guys can go at it!!!!:D she is a great woman!!!

anyway i saw this just sitting there and i shot her a price and she took it. later that day, i came back to pick it up.

she has some great stuff guys, great stuff message me or shoot me an email and you guys can go on a shopping spree!:cool:
 
Do you think she has any parts that will fit a CJ7 ? I'm in need of some decent front fenders.

Well for everyone here, i am restoring the trailer back to what it would have been in its glory days! just not the same original color, which if i am not mistaken, is Harvard Red, it will be Oak leaf brown, to match my cj with gold wheels, and gold pin striping. no stickers or special paint on this one! just oak leaf brown paint with pin striping. but i have some bodywork to do. it has dents (given) and some floor welds have broken. just re welding them. then POR 15ing the :dung: out of the bottom. then soda blasting the sides and hooks, hooks will be black and need to center the tailgate again. its a good bit of work but its worth it to save this little piece of history. and my other challenge, getting it ready for the 2012 Bantam Jeep Festival:cool: there will be tons of pictures of this restoration!
 
Guy Great News!!!

The Woman, Anita, Should be in Town, here in Avella PA, tomorrow. PM me or email me to get her info, she will only be here for about a week!
 
What's that trailer worth in decent cond? I have my eye on one and unsure the value, it is very solid and ready to use although not perfect by any stretch. Give me a range if you have a guess.
Thanks
 
Sas, ive seen ones in bad bad bad shape for 500.00 i would think about 800-1100
 
off of Anita, ii just got two cj fenders, she has so much, 4 MB grilles, 2 CJ2 /3a grilles, 1 Jeepster commando grille, 1 Cj 3B grille, early CJ5 grille, and later model cj grille. also truck grilles, and plenty of Jeepster grilles with the chrome! PM me if your interested in anything!! she has a heck of a lot!
 
Although this was an update page for the longest of times, the restoration is just about to start on this little TC-3.

That's the cool thing about a Bantam civilian trailer, it has a tailgate. It's the military units that had no gate, yes some were made by the Bantam trailer co. but are known as WW2 trailers and prized finds just like the civy Bantam.
I'm now an expert:rolleyes:, after spending all winter researching this while resoring my M100 trailer, yes it has no tailgate.
