FS: 1946 Lineman's Trailer. Great Project!

Hi All,

I've got too many projects going and need to make some space, so this trailer is on the block. It's the bed of a 1946(ish) telephone lineman's truck that has been transplanted onto a trailer frame. Lots of great storage drawers and space, and a great unique look. It's a bit dirty, the top has rust, and the frame would need to be sandblasted, but it is very well built. An RTT would go awesome on top. Mismatched tires on it now, but I do have a set that I'll put on/throw into the deal. This trailer weighs maybe 300lbs. The body is approximately 41" tall, 80" long, and 76" wide. The trailer on wheels and with tongue is approximately 56" tall and 9' long. Not currently registered, but I do have the pink slip. It would be cheaper to register it as a new build, but that cool old license plate might make it worth paying back dues. Located in the San Francisco Bay Area. Asking $250.

Does not have a tow hitch currently

How cool are these lights?! And classic license plate. Ammo can/jerry could mount where that triangle bit is now.

Looong trays, very well supported and securely latching

Deep storage locker. All compartments lock

More storage on the other side

Loads of trays, drawers, and secure storage accessed from the rear barn doors



Roof could use some work

Underside is rusty but solid.




Matching tires

I'll edit the original post to add this info.

Ugh, if only you were closer! I'd make a sibling for my trailer, Sid...
He's the bed of off a '56. What manufacturer is yours? Sid is a York-Hamilton. The interior looks IDENTICAL, but I'm missing the drawers in the large pass side door.

Sold! Thanks, Rippin'AV, and good luck! I've got a bit of sellers remorse, but I look forward to seeing what you end up doing with it.
