M332 trailer for a bobbed deuce?

[ccf460]

I have access to M332 trailer,can I use the trailer for a bob project, not the bed but the leaf springs and spring hangers.

That's some pretty beefy springs and hardware. I think you can do it but it might be overkill and a pretty stiff ride. My two cents.

I've seen bobbed deuces use the M332 bed and it looked pretty cool....

Nope, look at how the springs are attached to the trailer, they use some funky setup. Not bob-deuce material.

Do these trailers have any value? Like maybe trade for a 105?

 

[maddawg308]

They do - they have roughly the same cargo capacity as the 105, but since they are lower to the ground it's easier to load heavy stuff in it. I actually like the 332 better. Shouldn't be too hard to find someone in NC who wants to trade.

Do these trailers have any value?

When scrap is 14 bucks a hundred they do.

They were designed to carry two pallets of artillery shells or main gun tank rounds.

I have one in the back yard filled with HEMMT and deuce rims......they stack pretty good in it.

They are heavy and it takes a deuce or better to pull one safely.

Nah, I towed one home with my 1500 just fine. You need to be alert as it has no brakes that way, but it is not too bad.

I just gave two nice ones away for scrap value. One thing that hindered the value was the lack of a title. They were acquired from GL when they were not giving titles some years back...just SF97s with their notarized bill of sale...and that did not cut it in MD. I got my money out of them and the buyer was thrilled. One had new rubber and the other had the cargo cover. Offered 'em on here for a while, but no one seemed interested.
