Got My M101A1 Today!

[THE_TITAN]

1968 M101A1 Complete with everything. Has 3 brand new tires, got it home about 2pm and had it all converted to 12V 4-Way plug by 3pm. Going to repaint it OD Green soon and undercoat the bottom.

Try this one.

Sits nice with the truck.
Sure would look nice painted white with black cover,
running the same rims and tires as the truck.

Hi,

Nice trailer, wish I could get my hands on one.
But why did you convert it to 12V.??

Good night,

CJ

I just swapped the bulbs to 12V and swapped the wiring harness from Nato 12 Pin to a standard 4 Pin Setup via the junction.

I thought about white, but I want to keep it somewhat original. Gotta respect these old military vehicles. I dig them all orignal, I am not much for modding classics.

I have a 68 case master body M101a1. I did the same thing, kept it original, just changed the bulbs to 12v and made a nato 12 to Flat 4 adapter so i could use the trailer with my civvy truck...

Nice 101, I love mine and use it often for little things. I put on a pair of BFGOODRICH LT235/R16 so it sits more even with my 2500 Suburban

The 9.00-16 Tires are pretty much the exact same size as my 35's I have on my truck. The truck and trailer have the same ground clearance and sit perfectly level. I love it, can't wait to get it painted and get it to work. I think I got a pretty good deal too, it came complete with the cover and the bows, as well as the spare tire and all 3 have brand new tires. I got the rig for $450 as it sits.

Nice pick-up . . . and nice pick-up! LOL.

Looks great behind the truck.

I started painting it today, we shall see how it turns out. I used some exterior latex flat OD Green.

I see you have the plywood already on top the bows. Nice job, I like mine OD green also.

 

[THE_TITAN]

The plywood came already on the bows from the Military. I didn't know it was there until I pulled the cover off.

I went and checked on my paint before work this morning. It is for sure going to need another 1-2 coats before it is done. That paint dries a lot thinner then it goes on. This was my first experience with an electric painter. I also found you have to thin it way down for the electric gun.
