Default Canadian trailers

This forum has been helpful earlier, so I thought I'd try again.

There's a guy selling a trailer that he says might be canadian. It's big enough to fit behind a GMC or later deuces. It has blackout switch on the trailer. This might be ww2 or post-war. So where should I look to find photos of these trailers? Can anyone help me?

An obvious place to look for pictures of Canadian trailers is here, of course

Could very well be you have come across a 20-cwt trailer, see the thread Canadian 20-cwt GS Trailer for information and pictures. The survial rate of 20-cwt trailers in Norway is relatively high. Mine came from there, too:



If you have pictures of, please share!

HTH,
Hanno

P.S.: these trailers are not meant to be towed by GMC 2.5-ton trucks but by proper Canadian 15-cwt or 3-ton trucks
