The cheapest way to get the trailer is the Modified Stocker Hauler set, which is still available.  You also get a '53 Ford pickup, and who doesn't like that kit?  The retail price isn't a whole lot more than the pickup alone.  Hobby Lobby stores carry it, you can snag one at 40% off every other week.

The trailer is based on the one that came with the SMP '60 Chevy pickup annual kit.  The Ford pickup had a different, single axle trailer (like that in the new '60 Ford pickup kit).  The Chevy's trailer was meant for full size, late model cars, while the Ford's trailer was smaller and meant for earlier/smaller cars like Deuces, Ts, and dragsters. 

The Chevy's trailer was available separately in the early Sixties, by mail from AMT or Auto World.  It could also be built as a display base.

This is solid information, thanks

This is exactly what I did a couple weeks ago.  My local HL still had the standard "Trophy Series" 1953 Ford truck (gold truck on box art) stickered at $29.99, while the truck/trailer combo was $40.99.  With the 40% off, the truck/trailer combo ends up $24.59 vs. $17.99 for just the truck, so I really only spent $6.60 for that trailer (pre-tax).

If you have any interest in this, I strongly encourage you to go this week (July 21 to 26) since it's a 40% off week.  Recently, every time I go I see a couple more kits that have gotten price bumps, so these are likely to get the treatment in the near future as well.  Most stuff seems to be jumping $6 to $10 list.
