This will be tough.....

Being as they are sitting in a wood Ben Hur they are about 8 feet long. However the Ben Hur only has 4 verticle wood stakes and there are 5 metal stakes. The Ben Hur also had 4 horizontal bars and this has 3.

It also had the middle stakes shorter than the outers.

My guess is a 3/4 ton 60's era M-101 or larger M-105 trailer.

That said....there is a broken piece of wood with an angle braket sticking straight up into the air in the center of the picture. I believe that is a top bow for a Ben Hur. The angle bracket is the same as I have on my Ben Hur trailers.

On the left side of the pic there is another set of 2 wood pieces (under the long sides) which appear shorter. Under magnification it indicates that these are end pieces for an M series trailer.

Not a bad deal for $25.

I love detective work!....

I thought they were too short to be for a CCKW had to be for a trailer. Thanks Bill

Look like M-104/M105 1 1/2 Ton M-Series, aint worth the $25, unless you have one of the beasts.
