Really need help to ID this trailer. It's a real strange one...

[MarkM]

Found this trailer for sale locally and it looks very interesting but I cant figure out what it is or if it is built up from parts of other trailers. Could really used some help here guys.

Thanks Mark

Looks like a "home built" to me. I recognize the m101 axle(just cause of the m37 rims) but thats about it. Call and ask him what model number it is. I'd be interested to hear his reply.(it has m103 stenciled on it. IT ISN'T)

Those fenders are a dead give away that this is a home built unit. There is no room for the wheel to move up when it hits a bump !

The owner has no idea as to how trailer was setup and it has no data plate. I thought perhaps the box was an early M103 because it had hinged gates at both ends but it seemed too narrow for any kind of 103. I did miss the travel issue with the homemade fenders but I sure see it now. Troop seats have not been used in a trailer for many many decades. It's a strange setup but I like it for some reason. I have a pristine M101A2 so I really don't need another trailer. Thanks for the help guys as I really appreciate it.

The rear drop legs are a neat idea.

The fenders look like someone took a couple of M416 fenders and welded them together to me.

So is the fold-up ladder inside the tailgate.

It will be the star of Jeepers Creepers III, "Papabear Joins the Army". He is waiting for his custom license plate for it now, BEATNGU.

If it were mine there would be never ending trips to the ER to stitch up the gashes in my legs from hitting it. Make it removable and then you have something.
