    Really? $1350 without springs, axle, tires, wheels, lights, wiring, hitch, and paint?

    Dang! I didn't realize these things were so expensive. Really cool, but one could easily be in for $2K after everything was done.

    Yeah, by the time I had a frame made, bought a new floor and tailgate, and paid to have some body work done on it.

    You can buy cheaper. I just didn't. ;)

    Man! seeing this new tech forum about trailers really makes me wish I'd kept mine. And looking @ the prices of them, makes me think I just about gave it away.

    Oh well...I hope the buyer is pleased with it. Haven't heard from him but once since the sale.

    $500 meybe. I found mine for that.

    If you want a real fixer upper you might swing that kinda cash.

    Yea, I'm all about the fixer upper. Definately can't swing one that's finished. That's why I'd sorta opt for the 416. A little cheaper and I wouldn't feel so bad modernizing it for my needs. But I like the round fenders so much better.

    You don't wanna know what I sunk into my "fixxer upper"...hence the title of this thread....

    BTW - fenders would be easy to swap. I prefer the round as well, but wouldn't pass up a good deal on a M416. A set of round trailer fenders like what i used on the Bantam were like $30.

    Aftermarket round fenders or something specifically for the Bantam ? I've seen fenders pretty sheep in the Northern Tool catalog. Guess this means I'm officially shopping for a cheap 416. Off the WTB sector.....

    Just plain old aftermarket trailer fenders are *very* close to the original Bantam fenders. IIRC they were the same width, 5/8" shorter overall, and visually the only difference is the Bantams had a "welt" on the inner edge where it met the body. It was a metal part of the fender but looked like a welt.
