    Unanswered mystery questions about the M105 trailer....

    Unanswered mystery questions about the M105 trailer....

    The newer trailers have the shipping info dataplate. It makes it easier when air/railloading when the info is right infront of your face as your doing it.

    Recent LMTV out of Hooks

    Fixing an item means you have access to parts. Try calling S&S with a "Im a fire dept, I need part # NSN, and can help me" I bet the last thing you'd hear is laughing as they hung up the phone. Sounds like a page out of the AM General customer service manual.

    Unanswered mystery questions about the M105 trailer....

    I have rail loaded more of those trailers and ther trucks they were attached to more than I care to remember. The "loops" of various styles are lifting/tiedown points. The square holes, not one person I have asked in the Army had a good answer to, other than I have no idea.

    Military trailer maybe

    It is an M100 as evidenced by the grab handles AND the angle iron on the from wall for the box that holds the cable. The M416 doesnt have this angle iron. http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos_m100.php

    M923: LOW hours but "high" miles?

    Dont assume any hour meter or odometer is correct or original to the truck. The military does NOT treat odometers like the civilian world does. Look at the condition of the truck as a whole to see if the gauges "seem" to be correct for the amount fo wear.

    Surplus HMMWV's? Anywhere?

    Bottom line, a DEMIL code change will need to occur to get HMMWV's sold thru GL like 5 tons/CUCV's/deuces. I wouldnt hold my breath on that though.....
