The smaller wheel isn’t that bad without power steering. Obviously it’s more work than the stock 20” wheel but I’d definitely try it if you want a little more room. You may have to either borrow a military wheel puller or make your own to pull the wheel without breaking it, sometimes they can...

I like it. I'll need to lift the box back off sometime to clean up and paint the frame, maybe I'll swap the landing leg out for the crank up version too.

That should tow great behind your Colorado. The surge brakes are great when they're working and they're not bad to fix up if they're not. You can lock it out if the shock is bad and the hitch is slamming back and forth while you stop. If you're looking for the side racks you might want to...

Started taking apart a couple trailers today. One is an m101a1 with a very nice newer style cargo box and the other an m116a2 with the heavier duty frame. The cargo box is going on the a2 frame of course, should end up being a pretty decent m101a2.

The operator's manual from the 1970s says the max towed load on highway is 6000lbs. I wouldn't want to tow nearly that much on a public road today. An m37 is gutless enough already and the brakes aren't up to the task in my opinion (I'm assuming the manual expects no trailer brakes since...

Sounds like they might be the 25 amp generators with the separate voltage regulators. Later m151s (a2s at least) had the same 60 amp alternator as the m35a2s and many other trucks.

I don’t see any part numbers on it at all.

The bumpers are side specific, one side is slightly longer than the other. They mount the same as a full bumper too.

This morning I was looking through a 1979 list of MVPA member owned vehicles and noticed a gentleman in El Paso, Texas had a 1957 xm389 "Hawk Missile Trailer", S/N 4. Looking again at the dataplate on our trailer the contract number on it can be found in a 1960s Defense Appropriations Hearing...

Does anyone going to the show have any Gama Goat parts for sale? Looking for things like a winch kit, cargo cover and bows, exhaust, etc. Also still looking for m101 fiberglass racks and an m36 long wheel base side rack.

No problem at all, but I'd only do that when it's safe to. I've moved 5 tons with a CUCV blazer before (not fast, far, or on the street).

Is there anyone still on the forum that has an m104 with the wood gates? I could use some measurements of the hardware so I can make something as close to correct as possible.

The windshields are interchangeable between the m35 and m37 (although the outer windshield frames are very different).

They are not interchangeable.

m819 tractor wreckers and I think the m246 as well.

I have one with the exact same problem, not sure what caused it and I haven’t had a chance to look at it. I’ll be keeping an eye on this thread; hopefully the damage isn’t too bad.

I didn't get time over the winter to do a single thing to the dump truck. I did figure out that the TV episode it was pictured in is from 1991. I also found a shipping receipt for it that shows the first time it came to the yard was in 1995. It was bought as a package deal with an m108 crane...

Bantam made jeep trailers during WWII, and then after they made trailers for the civilian market. Those trailers had tailgates and a ball hitch instead of the pintle. Those are both the same width as the m100, while the m416 is a little bit wider. There were some other oddball trailer...

Around 1978 (not 68) m416 trailer production changed over to the m416a1 and had surge brakes instead of the rotating hitch. It's pretty much the same as a regular m416 in design and dimensions, but there are small differences to tell them apart besides the big hitch setup like the center...
