M-105A2 Tailgate Rack Needed

[glcaines]

I just picked up an M-105A2 at Ft Riley. I got very lucky as the trailer is virtually perfect. The only thing is that the rear tailgate rack is missing. Any suggestions as to where I might find one?

I was in the Army for several years before I was leafing thru a M105A2 trailer TM and saw that you can put a rack on the tailgate. All the M105's I saw at Ft Hood in those years, I never saw one with a tailgate rack.

That being said, the front rack is interchangeable with the rear.

I may have one here at the house. You can have it. I'll check and let you know. Is Hiawasseee in North GA?

Yes, I'm in Hiawassee, GA which is located in the Northeast part of the state in the mountains. That would be great if you had one available. Thanks.

I do have the rack. I didn't pull it out, but here is a pic of the end. You are welcome to have it.

Pics of the near perfect 105 please. Im near Ft riley and would like to see which one you got. Ive seen some very nice and some not so nice 105's there lately.

Here are photos of the trailer. I saw a lot of other trailers at Ft Riley and some were good and many were not so good. GL told me that I got one of the best of the group. I towed the M-105A2 home with my Ford F-150 with a 5.0 L engine / 5 speed manual. I didn't have any problems towing the trailer. It pulled very well and braking was not a problem. Top speed on hills was limited, however. Both truck and trailer were empty.
