Robin,
Thanks for posting the image. I had not seen the flat bed version before. That’s a neat configuration. Add some benches and it would make a great people carrying parade vehicle. I wonder if the flat bed was a Navy field modification. The Highway Trailer Co. service manual shows the trailer with and without the cradles (just the open frame) but nothing showing a flatbed. It is interesting to note the difference in the tongues and tool box arrangements on the two versions shown in the image. I suspect the upper one is an Anthony Company product and the lower one the Highway Trailer Co. version.
Regards,
Jim

Re: USN Bomb Trailer MK3 MOD 1
What little information I have says that the flat bed was built using the packing crate that the trailer was shipped in.

Re: USN Bomb Trailer MK3 MOD 1
I also have a Mark 3 mod 1 navy bomb trailer. I am having a hard time finding wheel rims and stud bolts. Old rims are damaged. Anyone able to identify what auto those six bolt rims came from?

Re: USN Bomb Trailer MK3 MOD 1
Answer my own question....six bolt rims 5.5 inch circle. Some older GM products and a few light pickup rims. Light pickups are 14 inch rims, older GM are 15 inch and the original trailer had 16 inch rims. I gave up searching and repaired the GM rims with JB weld in the bead rust area. So, I have 2 and a half original rims if anyone needs.
