My PC crashed after the last post ,Thanks for the picture The 16 ton looks like it too only bigger .I also have a fuel trailer that my Dad bought after the war ,My Fordson N bomb hauler pulls it in the parades. It hauled fuel to the air planes in the UK in ww2 ,Have not seen another one like it. Also I have a 10 CWT trailer .

I would sure like to know how the Studebaker on the trailer got so mangled. I can't imagine what would do that without apparent damage to the cargo body.

I think if it got airborne off a bridge or into a creek with a load of gravel or other loose contents the cab would act as a progressively collapsing unit while the load spilled forward over the top of the body sides (you can see the rear of the cab has been pushed). I doubt the result ended well for the occupants.

My trailer looks like the top picture .The one with the truck on it looks like a 16 ton ,Mine likely came off the Alaska Hi way Park brothers had it and they worked on the hi way .When they built the hi way they kill one soldier a day with trucks going over the side .
