Look in your local classifieds and at government auctions for M100 or M416 1/4-ton trailers. M100s are the 1950s models and have rounded fenders; M416s are the later models and have angular fenders. Also look for descriptions like "Bantam trailer," "Willys trailer," "jeep trailer" and "military trailer".
FYI, the trailer designed for use behing the M37 is the 3/4-ton M101. A big, heavy trailer designed for use behind deuce-and-a-half and larger trucks is the M105.
Here's an address (link below) to a site that advertises a couple of trailers for sale:

These trailers are getting more expensive all the time. Good deals are still lurking out there, but don't be surprised at prices in the $500-$1,500 range.
There is a Bantam trailer group on Yahoo groups, and the www.g503.com Website has a trailer section.
Where are you located?
Happy hunting,
