The tm is available on jeep draw. The lunette there is a drawing put there. I think Gordon in Scotland has it. Wheels are going to be hard to find.

I think I saw someone that re engineered a couple of regular split wheels, repro's I believe, and reworking them, making an approximation of the originals - that are, as said, EXTREMELY hard to find, in any condition. It was a lot of work and they didn't look 100% right, but what to do?

Worth doing until you find the correct one's?

Thank you for the information. Every bit helps! I just found a trailer at a Garage Sale for $325.00
Data plate is still on it and it is in fairly good shape. Wheels are rusted, I am going to see if someone can repair them.
Someone cut the inside compartments out of it but the pictures on the net will help to make new replacements.
Thanks!!! :D

I would like to thank everyone with the responses. I am very excited to find a trailer. Its made by the Four Wheel Drive Auto Co. K-38 S/N 2999 DOD 10-5-44
Does anyone have any pictures of the tools that go with the trailer? Or tools found lately?
Thanks

Probably too much trouble to post pictures? I've worked as a power lineman for the last 34 years, so it would be interesting to see what this stuff looked like,
Thanks
