Anyone have any idea how old this is? I searched on Google and found this picture that looks close to the trailer.

This is a M146 6ton Van most are 60's vintage, made to be pulled by M275 tractor.

They are called 129 vans. Or that's what we called them anyway. We had them from the time I went in, 1972, untill I got out, 1993. So they have been in the army inventory a looooooooooooog time.

Thanks for the info. Was curious.

Its called a M129A-1 12 ton van

Nothing too special than.

We over loaded them and took them everyplace you could think of. Rebuilt them into a real fine camping van. Used them as CP's and as logistic hubs. I never saw one break down. My unit did leave one outside of Basra, but only because it hit a mine.

Incase anyone wanted to know it sold for $1 at auction.
