Canadian 10cwt Trailer rebuild

[Jordan Baker]

I just realized i had not yet out up some pictures of the almost completed trailer. I still need to finish making a tarp and figuring out the tarp retaining straps mounted to the front panel.

The latest piece I just finished is the British T plate that was often seen on the rear of trailers. Since I've been unable to locate an original I figured why not make one.

Hi Jordan
I was finally able to crawl around behind my trailer to get the chassis VIN number but it wasn't there. I extracted myself and went around the front and there it was on the left side of the tongue. According to Eric Booth's records this trailer was assembled in Italy. The second photo is of my load of POW cans. Thirty six cans fit perfectly.

Thanks for the photo Barry.

Thats interesting with how it fits the 2 gallon ones. I believe it also fits the larger 5 gallon Jerry can ones as well.

Barry....

.....how many do you need before it becomes "hoarding"?

Sure glad you are not restoring a CCKW!!

Did you make you T panel out of two separate sheet of metal to hold the red glass marbles.....

..... and what was you source for the red reflectors as well as dia. and thickness size...?

[Jordan Baker]

T panel is made from single sheet. The red reflectors are simply glued on with 5min epoxy. Ill have at least one of the T plates at the OMVA swap meet in a couple of weeks.
