My New Trailer...Help Me Identify?

[JackHoleRacer]

Hey guys and gals,
Been hangin round for years, just now getting started on a build. Searched for quite awhile to find the right candidate. This is what I came up with. PO said it was a service trailer for Mountain Bell phone Co. and I agree it was some sort of service vehicle. Looks to be made in 50's, 60's (guess) by how heavy duty everything is. Some of the things I Really like about it:
Has a cool shape, Blends w/ tow rig
Long supple leaf springs w/ grease able pins
Same wheel bolt pattern as tow rig
Cool heavy duty door latches and hinges w/ rain drip guards
So any ways...Can some one out there help me get a better idea on what this trailer really is? It really isn't all that important to me, Cause I Digg it the Most! but still be fun to know. One more thing.... kinda take a look at those rectangular dove tail brackets on the four corners of the upper body. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

Thanks for the reply Titan. I think when I start stripping the paint I will go slow, maybe find some markings.

Awesome find. Perfect one to build.
1950 telephone box that were mounted on any makers cab and chassis.
Love the large fenders. a little work and it will match the bronco perfect.

How cool Mark Harley..... I knew you guys would come through! How or where did you come up with those pics? I've tried several different google searches. na'da. I sure would like to see if I could find those pics with better resolution so I could enlarge to get a better look at the way rack attaches to those brackets I was referring to. Thanks so much.

Mine is a 1955 bell telephone box! It's mostly done as you can see.

Looks a lot like mine! Some of the partitions have been removed, but it might make it more convenient with larger items. I like the tow rig!
