mY101a1 IS OLD STYLE CAMO

With a NEW style bed on it! From my observations I believe that was the last M101A2 bed design before they went to the M101A3 bed with the skinny fender wells inside the bed.

M105 Mods

Very nice work on the trailer, It looks very proportioned to the truck.
How much does it stick out side to side?
Can you feel it back there?
Did you go with electric brakes?
Is a white paint job in the future?

One more mod you need to do to make it more road friendly.
Replace the lunette with a receiver channel and then you can use a
lower mount on your draw bar.

Post more pictures of the rebuild.

Thanks for all the positive comments.

The trailer sticks out just enough to see it in both side view mirrors, so maybe a couple inches on each side. It tracks nicely behind the truck and handles great. Since I removed the huge stock axle, wheels, and massive jack it lightened it significantly. I can tell it's back there but even up and down hills I didn't have any problem pulling it. I'm betting it's less than 2000 lbs now that all the extra/heavy stuff has been removed. I did go with electric brakes... for one its required in Cali. for trailers gross over 1500 lbs, but I also plan on the dump conversion so I'll need the brakes when it's loaded. The white paint job is my last priority but maybe some day! I am also planning on removing the lunette to lower the hitch but I figure for now it's fine for what I need. Maybe if I sell it I'll put the ball hitch on. I'll get some more pictures to share as the work continues.

Quote from 08/11/11 - picked up my M105a3 about two weeks ago from Red River in Hooks, Texas.

i try to come up with a name for all of my Militray Vehicles. while sitting in my M1028 letting it warmup i was looking out the windshield and found the name for my M105a3, "Kevin The Minion". see the resemblance?

Really like what you did with your 105, I have a 101 but you can't put a 4'x8' sheet of any thing between the wheel wells. You pulling with a 5.3 or 6.0 in you Chev? If you ever get a chance to pull it across a scale, would be interesting to see how close you are on your weight guess.
Thanks,

Ripcord, that second trailer is sweet, what is it?

 

[Ripcord01]

Lowtech. it's previous life served the army as a general purpose light tower trailer.
It is a pretty solid little trailer.

Mark2X2: The truck has the 5.3 in it basically stock. I'm still waiting on paperwork back on the trailer to get it registered but as soon as I do I'll be making my first dump run so I'll hit the scales there.

You are gonna tear up that truck haulinh that big ole trailer. them things are designed to be pulled by a 2.5 ton truck.. plus you have no brakes on the trailer. You might want to find you a M101 . They are alot more practical..
