These trailers were typically used for transport of Universal carriers. Would make a really neat display for any carrier owner. Just require a Diamond T to haul it around.

I think I need professional help: I went out to Dave's yesterday and worked a deal on this trailer. As with most projects, the cheap part is actually buying it. Even after the non-original deck is cut off, all the tires replaced, and the brake system restored, it will still need a truck with an air supply (ie: MLVW or old duece) and an airbrake license to operate. At this time I have neither, although I will need a truck in that class to tow my howitzer eventually.

Very nice photo Micheal. Does anyone else have more? The only other one I have seen is the one in Greg's book.

Hi Rob

There was one example advertised a couple years back on Milweb inthe UK. Maybe someone knows of its whereabouts, at least it coule provide details to help complete a restoration of yours.
John Bizal at Midwest has a beautiful restored Diamond T 4 tonner for sale at the moment....
