It is going to become my rally trailer.
On the list-
Done already: Bolster trailer tires, flipped lunette, remove landing leg (too tall for new stance)
To-do: fold down bunk that will fold flat against the front rack when not used, sew in the stovepipe jack from a tent into the cover to allow...
What first caught my eye were the bumper numbers for 357th Engineer Company. That is the new designation for my old unit, A-391 Engineer Battalion.
Then I noticed the spray paint on it- that was done at the unit in 2002, during an extra period of home station annual training when we had to...
Not the same model trailer, but the exact same M105 I towed and slept in!
So I bought it!
Since it has sentimental value to me I am going to build it into something I will use- first step was a lunette flip and bolster trailer tires and wheels.
More stuff I can bring:
1 tire & wheel for a M796 bolster trailer or M1061 trailer, nice tread $75.
2 really nice 9:00-20 NDT's on wheels, fresh and only run on a trailer for about 100 miles. $125 each
Canvas covers for M416's, new production I had made $90.00
I also have a complete WWII PE-95 generator. This is the one powered by a jeep engine, and it has a good WWII Willys engine in it. I last ran it 2 years ago, should start and run with fuel and maybe some minor freshening. Has the hand crank, many of the NOS spare parts and other accessories...
I have-
Gas powered 3kw 2bv DC genset, $225.
Small 2.5 gallon Russian Jerry cans- these make great oil cans for carrying enough oil for an emergency change. I have 2 grades- good inside with no or very little rust $15. With rust inside or flaking lining, very restorable $7. All need repaint...

If it is EPA stuff then odds are they will come back in with 939 series trucks being fine. Heavy truck emissions really just came into effect around 2007, so odds are it would be any trucks after that affected.
Remember the whole M35 radioactivity gauge debacle? They stopped all sales, but they...
Here is an idea, if somebody has the time to take it and run with it.
I would be willing to donate to a fund to help buy it, then we raffle it and send the proceeds to his family, so they get the money from the sale and then from the raffle.
Have the drawing at the GA Rally.
I would be...
Wow. Just wow. I am away from the site for a while and I come back to see this news.
I am speechless right now. He was a great man who, as Clint said, would do anything he could to help anyone.
I'm rolling in really early, the stores may not be open as I pass. PM your number and if I reach an open one I will call from the parking lot to make sure you still need it.
Ok got loaded and am ready to haul. Last minute change I sold my M38A1 this morning so the GPW is loaded along with a giant box of goodies, Dells M101 trailer is loaded on the flatbed of my Ford, since it was coming I couldn't tow with the CUCV. When you see a load that looks like Fred Sanford...
