When World War II came to a close and civilian manufacturing gradually resumed, Sears wasted little time in reintroducing its popular Single Wheel trailers to the American market. By the time the 1948 Sears Fall Catalog was published, advertisements for these trailers once again appeared prominently among the company’s many postwar product offerings. In addition to the traditional wood box trailer that customers had come to recognize, Sears introduced an entirely new option for the first time — the “Chassis Only” version, designed specifically for the growing number of do-it-yourself builders interested in crafting their own custom trailer bodies at home.
