Very nice job and I love those fenders and wheels! Retro cool
Earlycj5.com has the fundamental thread for these trailers. It's got more info than anything else ive found.Awesome progress! I just got one of these trailers last night I think it’s a early 1948 or late 1947. Mine is much worse for wear I hope mine can look this good by this time next year
I actually don't know exactly how tall it is. I know I have almost 4 feet of height between the floor and it. I know it's not quite as tall as my jeep, and I know the uprights are at an 80deg angle. But I focused more on using what I had and building it square rather than building to exact measurements.I picked up one of these trailers back in October and I'm impressed with how stout it is. It's in great shape (PO cleaned it up quite a bit, repainted it and recently put new tires on). I have some changes in mind for it, including a rack for my RTT.
How tall is the rack you built? I'm wrestling with that decision as I consider the many uses it'll have. I go back and forth between a simple low rack, a tall rack and one that is on struts to lift the RTT when I need to haul other things under it (bikes, kayaks, etc).
