Check out a m1073; bigger 7 1/2 ton step brother to m1061. It has the channel on outside. I dont recall exact width.
It has a slide out arm so it can be hitched at 2 different heights specifically for towing behind a m113 I think. Arm is longer than the A frame.
I think the front a frame is...
Old thread I know but i was researching M107's as I just got one.
That looks like a m101 variant /trailer salad...of the axle and running gear with M37 16 inch wheels is my swag.
My 107a1 frame and cross members do not look like that but on the other hand the fender does....
Mine also has...
Ymmv, but my unscientific view point is that I have the rear fender antenna towers and think they might offer a minuscule higher level of protection....
Theories I never want to test.
Any of the older non metric 8 lug wheels will fit from dodge , ford, or gm typically 70- early 90's. They are lug centric on a m116a2/3 not hub centric so the middle hole can be larger with no problems. Also very common for boat and utility 8 lug civy trailers.
I have used this route many times and recommend it.
Notice there are 2 Maine companies with almost the same url that specialize in this with slightly different pricing so do your home work.

If you are missing parts, let us know and maybe I can point you in the right direction.

All the best

MWO (maintenance work orders) are updates to the truck after it was built. Usually a triangle tag is affixed to the B pillar by the data plate to indicate it has been done. Sometimes a rectangular tag if many mwo's were done at the same time typically of a depot...
Just a fyi to check frame for rust issues.
Problems were found and the majority were recalled and scrapped .
Since it came from surplus, might have been before the recall was issued.
I dont remember if it was just the first model or if it included a1's
Just a fyi that the OE wiper blades can be found at any hd store easily like napa as they are common in the hd/truck market. Not at your auto zones or wal mart stores. Typically run around $6 each.
Doc,
Been there, done that :-(
I did that with my 5 ton. Can't tell you how many hours of troubleshooting and fiddling it took for me to figure it out even replaced the pcb. THe shifter on these does not have park and like a dummy I brought it to the first position which is reverse..... Good...
You must have heard that diesel is corrosive and Gremlins eat through anything......
I have installed various military antennas on my rig for the "cool" factor but they are a pain the azm when I get hung up on trees and the like even tied down... They sometime snap in half quite easily...
I sold parts for 20 years in a another lifetime including valve cover gaskets in various brands in rubber and cork for many applications. Most never leaked if installed properly and tin in good shape.
Many ifs but never heard of silicone leaking if properly Cleaned and using name brand quality...
