As most of us know on the forum lots of Model T’s at the end of their days were junked out and whatever then the chassis were used for trailers. I’ve hauled home a few myself in various configurations.
Here’s one in 1940’s Texas that was as a cotton trailer. I haven’t ran across many photos up close of a T farm trailer in the day. Thought you may like to see it. The cotton picker is in front of it.

Re: Model T cotton trailer
I’ve found a few of those too. One with Ford wire wheels and hubs that I bought for $25.

Re: Model T cotton trailer
In the 70’s I bought a bunch of T parts, a T frame , a pretty complete T trailer and a mostly complete 38 Ford flat bed pickup that was in fairly decent shape.
This was at a farm auction and the 38 Ford was thrown in with the other T stuff so it would sell. I bid 35.00 and the auctioneer yelled sold!
I made a deal with with a guy that would haul all the T parts and frame, and trailer to my place and he could have the 38 Ford flatbed.
Looking back I think he got the better deal! The truck was all there and the engine wasn’t stuck. The flatbed was a Ford bed with the Ford logo on the back of the bed.
If I had a trailer at the time I would have kept it all. Oh well!
