K-38-A

Post by Bill_Wolf »

I picked up a couple of nice looking boxes for a K-38-A 1/4 ton trailer. I have a couple of questions if someone could help me.

The boxes are in very good shape and were stored inside being used as paint can cabinets being stood on end.

Is there a specific TM for the K-38-A package and it's content?

Were these boxes just placed in a requisitioned 1/4 ton trailer or was it a special built and designated "K" trailer that came factory direct in some type of Signal Corps configuration?

Unsure of what my plans are for these. If a standard trailer was what they went in I may go that route.

Pictures of the boxes follow:

Thanks,

Bill
