Great pictures! Thanks for posting them.

I have seen the setup with the stabilizers and the front door before.

I think it was a trailer with a fuel transfer pump setup possibly for airfield use. I will see if I can find the information in my files.

Thanks for the return Bill the legs look a little home made meaning the bottoms are not welded very good and the trap door has cheap hinges , there is also add of a small box on the r side that looks like two short poles go in .
