Bofors 37mm trailer base ( don't really understand this one, 37mm? Is this an AT gun mount? But we used 2pdrs):

Hi Ryan,

Just a little correction mate, that jeep trailer is actually a number 3, but almost as rare as the number 2 (ok, well slightly) in that it is an IHC made trailer- not many made to start off with- this one looks to be 324? I think there are only 4 surviving ones registered in the online jeep trailer database I look after. There was an IHC trailer in the uralla/guyra ? (one of those 2 places) military museum auction recently, but it was well modified when compared to this one. I can see how the data plate looks abit like a 2, not a 3 being out of focus.

Either way, she's a trailer very worthy of restoration and I hope it doesn't get butchered, but restored for what it is. Aussie trailers are well under appreciated in my opinion when you consider that there were only over several thousand made in the 4 (5) types (I guess a rough number is around 6000 odd produced across 5 models/types) compared to the 60,000+ US made ones!

Cheers,
Ian.

Hi Ian,
I'm looking at that photo and thinking is he right, no it's a number 2. Took me a little to see it did actually say number 3. It's kinda like a magic eye picture. I hate those things. Listing corrected.

I still think it is a No.3, if you move the mouse over the photo and enlarge it you can see the curves at the bottom, not a straight line a 2 would have.

More interesting thing to me is the Official usage of the word, JEEP. This was far before the word or name JEEP was accepted in the USA or anywhere else in the world.

I have a No3. by IHC No.7. and it has the same data plate. It is our camper we take to Corowa and everywhere else.

I emailed the seller of that trailer. He had a look at the plate, and said its a 2!
