I appreciate the opportunity to jump on the tail end as a 3rd party of a shipping arrangement that allowed me to get 3 steel pallets from KS to LA.
Thanks to Marty, Wes, and John! That is what makes this site awesome is the camaraderie and genuinely good folks helping each other!
As they say in...
Random thoughts for you in no particular order.
Louisiana paperwork will be quick and relatively hassle free but dependent on the EUC which can be a real lengthy process to get the sf 97. Not unheard of to have a 3 month plus wait.
Truck has no a/c. Since there is no ac the stock defroster is...
I believe that is correct. After numerous fatalities and rollovers, abs was mwo with the change to radials.
I did see some ndt's on non abs trucks out of shelby in the m939 mass sales.
Sorry misunderstood as thought it was sold from gp to someone already.
Gp will issue paperwork in your name after euc clears.
State police need to do a simple inspection of data plate serial number to match sale paperwork.
Fill out and notorize affidavit complying with safety equipment. All...
If the sf97 and reassignment is in someone elses name, they will need to register and title in their name. Then transfer to you as big brother won't like that taxes & fees were not paid to that state. There are probably other ways but bottom line is taxes and fees need to be paid at each change...

Is this truck registered in that state or is it just still with the original sf97 from gp?
Yes and yes👍
What part of La?

ZiggyO has the right idea. Just find a used rim from the older m37 or m101a1 trailers. Have a truck tire place mount the radial with a radial tube and be done with it for a spare. I have not found anyone at my location that will work on these except truck tire shop with old mechanics who...
Hanging in there. Working now in Baton Rouge but that is just down the road... Not much progress on mine except I used it with my m101 trailer all summer at Boy Scout camp without any issues. Fun ride. They had a golf cart for their previous directors. I said nah, I got my own toy :-)
Just HOT...
I have done several trailers with Rust O leum then top layered with Behr Marquee and it has worked well. Home depot can mix any of the federal paint color codes. The Behr marquee current "green" is really flat. When put next to carc it is an extremely close match.
I would concour to the A1 designation as the the tall curvy parking brake handles were on the earliest m101's
Very cool trailer.
I have a m116 with a custom bed that used diamond plate similar to this. It was a radar trailer for aircraft traffic control. Army unit that I picked up at Ft...
