My 1951 LaCrosse Model DF6T-33F Trailer built for the Navy Dept. Just picked it up, so
now the fun begins!

Nice find!

Where was that pic taken? Looks alot like the north side of Alamogordo, NM to me.

My mother-in-law lives between your area and Alamogordo - Have to look you up next time we're out there.

Miltrucks trailer

Yea I believe you. I just can not seem to find the thread with them in it. Was hoping someone. Had a link to them.

Mainly what I'm most interested in is what type metal he used for the cross bars and spacing for building the underneath deck. I have a chassis and want to make a deck eventually on it.

Eric is a great guy and might give you some ideas if you pm him.

1968 Southwest M750 Repair Parts Storage Semitrailer pulled with my M818.

It used to have shelving inside, but that was removed. Here it is camping in Payson, AZ.

You are correct Sir! That was exactly where the photos were taken. I purchased the trailer at Basin Pipe & Metal (Larry Berry's place). The trailer
had a 150KW genset mounted on the bed and came out of the University
in Las Cruces NM. One of Larry's partners wanted the genset but wasn't
interested in keeping the trailer. So I was able to get it pretty reasonable!
