I have an XM105E3 trailer that I just got done Building a brand new bed for, I reused the fender wells and floor but the rest is brand new. This one says it belonged to the U.S.A.F. I am going to sandblast the frame and running gear this weekend. I have the new bed primed and ready and hopefully the frame to by saturday. Now for a Question, it used to be blue, someone painted it OD. The OD is peeling away and revealing the blue as you can see in the pictures. Should I paint it blue or OD? And What color of blue if you chose blue.

I'd go with whatever color your tow vehicle is. If your deuce is green and the trailer is blue, it would kinda clash to me....

That was the good side. The tail gate was rusted, bent, torqued out of shape so bad you couldn't even get it to close half way. Anyway another local find that has been saved. I am going to try and have it done by the end of the month, so I will post more pics then.
