15-cwt GS trailer saved from scrapyard

[Grant Bowker]

The axle is specified as 2-3/4" square, solid. The springs are described as "as formerly used on Ford CMP trucks".
On edit: Based on the C01Q part number, the springs were sourced from the F30 parts bin along with quite a few other parts in the trailer parts list.

I really lucked out when I found mine, only missing the bottom of the landing legs and rear hitch.

My thanks to all who have provided photos and leads.
I'm still short on information about the upper, movable part of the sides of the earlier 15cwt trailers. All help will be appreciated.
The photos of the later 20cwt bodies will be particularly useful if I can persuade Bob that he needs to manufacture a body for his 20cwt frame and more photos of all three bodies (early 15cwt, composite 20cwt and steel 20cwt) will always be useful to understand their construction.

Lucky find Harry

Exactly what I woudl like to build for my existing frame......

Three questions..... what size tires do you have.....?

and is all the trailer box bolted together rather than welded????

Who is the trailer made by.... any tags?

Only hard part to replicate is the sunburst rib pattern in the head board.... we do have a bead roller but no dies for that large a bead.

Cheers

Mine was made by dominion, china aid, #276 I think. I pulled the split rim and drums off and put CMP wheels and 750x20 tires on. The brake drums are a strait swap.bolted together.

Glad you were able to save it Grant!

It looks so much better now!

Hi Harry

Mine as a China label as well will need to check out what number I have.

So on the wheels.... you removed the 20 inch split rims complete with the brake drum and the CMP brake drum & bearings were the same and just bolted on......

So you are running 16 or 20 inch tires and if 20 in. ......the civilian 7:50x20 tires were wide enough for the CMP rims???

One more thing.... on your trailer... can you take a picture of the same front corner but from inside the box..... curious about the bolting arragenment.

Thanks
