Just finished my M101A1

Amazing what a wire brush and a little paint will do!
Before and after:

 

[Ripcord01]

looks good. What brand of paint did you use?

 

[koolex11]

Ace Rust Stop Enamel. Nothing special, but I've used it on other trailers and it holds up well. Of course I have to lay plywood in the bed if I'm hauling.

 

[Ripcord01]

Did you spray it or rattle can the trailer?

 

[koolex11]

Brush and roller. I've used my spray gun on past jobs, but I thought I would try this way. Used a lot of paint.

Ripcord, do you have a thread or pics of your camper build? I was thinking about doing one.

Just finished mine too I bought it to put a comm shelter into but it wont fit between the wheel wells so I bought an A3 last week so today it went on ebay unfortunatly I cant keep them all.

Whats the tyre you used there.
I have to replace some ancient NDTs on my trailer and I want something new manufactured and reasonable costwise.

That's a nice paint job. I like your truck too. That is exactly what I want to do with one.

I also need a cheap tire to fit a Budd 16 x 6.5 that I can use as a spare. Any suggestions?

I used a set of LT215/85R/16/ MS they are 10 ply tires I get good sets of tires off the trucks that come into my friends junk yard. You have to watch the beads the newer tires have a molded edge that extends over the rim you cannot use them because the ring will not seat on the rim the right way making them extremely dangerous. I have two sets of brand new 16 inch tires that came off some of my 1008s and couldnt use them because of this.
