Not sure where to post this

I recently got a trailer made from an international harvester (I think) truck bed. I have no where to store it so I need to sell it and a friend suggested selling as a truck bed rather than a trailer, but don’t have a clue what year it is.
I can’t find anything online with a bumper with lights built in (I’m pretty sure the lights on top of the bumper are added on as they are wired as trailer lights).
can anyone help?

That particular bed design was used beginning in 1957 and was used all the way up to 1975.

Thank you! I honestly spent several hours looking at pics online and I did find that the fender style seemed to start in 1957 and also the tailgate, but I couldn’t find one with that particular bumper. Any idea what it’s worth?

Hard to say the year. The bumper looks to be from the mid-60's era but could be earlier. If the tailgate is straight and rust free, it can be worth as much as $1000 by itself to the right buyer. If the bed is dent/rust free, it too is worth a good $1000. Depending on how fast you want to sell it, I would start with a price from $1500 to $2500. I just paid $1000 for a pre-1957 trailer with tailgate that looks to be in much worse shape than what you have so hope that info helps you decide on a starting price.

Thank you so much! That’s very helpful. Someone offered $1200 for it and I would have taken that or probably even less but he didn’t reply. Now I know not to feel guilty for charging more! Do you think I should post it here? I’m in Seattle... do you have a lot of users in the area?

It couldn't hurt to create an ad in this forum's classified section. It's free. I'd also suggest Facebook Marketplace. If you make an ad here, along with the asking price and location, you might mention it being for sale locally too, so anyone seeing it here knows this isn't the only venue it's being listed on. Good luck!
