Default Years ago...... early 70s...

Way back when .... in the early 70s..... when doing junk yards on Sunday mornings looking for old Dodge power wagons parts........

....such trailers existed in a junk yards outside of Kemptville which was also the source of the Churchill tank (bridge layer) now at the CWM........ at least one full set of trailers.....

..also in St Hyacinthe PQ...... in a junk yard precursor to the SAILS army surplus store...... they had at least 2 or 3 sets of such trailers....complete with seperate generators and at least a dozen large 40/41 Packard staff cars........also Cadillac engined full tracked snow machines with totally enclosed cabs... central driving position......

...all gone now ....but you may still see some of it on the bottom of imported Tuna cans from Japan....... or Toyota bumpers.

Trailer going price was $1000 and he would strip the top parts for you so you could use it for a farm trailer...... these trailers had interesting independent suspensions!!!!!
