AWM images - Jeep semi-trailer image

When I was growing up somehow the house acquired several orange crates of 1940s Popular Science, Popular Mechanics, and the like magazines. I remember several rather breathless short articles bragging about the many ways to reuse wartime equipment. There were many naturally on all the civilian uses of Jeeps. I'm sure the thrill of freezing, frying, soaking, bouncing, flipping and other hardships suffered by the troops meant only a few of the imagined roles really panned out.

Thanks Lang, not seen that one before. Where did it come from, please?

The AWM image I remember was a 4x4 jeep with the rear of the body removed, and a single-axle, single wheel/side semi-trailer. The image was taken in a supply dump and was a local/unit-level conversion. Just cannot find it now!

That was a Pinterest Willys Jeep Trailer collection.
