Made a swap with a friend in Idaho. He had an M100 trailer and I had a complete Dodge 230 cu in 6-cyl flathead he needs for his Tucker Sno-Cat.
The M100 was made in 1951. It has some surface rust, but no rust throughs. (Luckily it was in a dry climate. If it had been in Oregon the bed would be rusted through under the plywood floor liner.) It will have to be completely wire wheeled and sandblasted. The fenders need to be hammered out and welded. There are drilled holes and a couple of cracks in the sheetmetal that will have to be welded. A tailgate has been cut into it, and it was done fairly decently. Gussets were added to the sides. It has the storage box for the electrical cable, but the box needs to be straightened. A ball hitch has been added, but the original lunette socket and landing gear are intact. The lunette is missing. The biggest problem at this point is one of the springs has been partially dismantled, and leaves are missing. It has no tires or rims, but I have some extra military rims and worn tires. Don't know yet what purpose we'll put it to. Probably a utility trailer. I'd like to set up a trailer for a generator/welder, but that might be best on a flatbed trailer or one with lower sides.
This is my other M100, a 1953, which I use for camping. A springover was done on it.
And my Bantam civilian trailer. It, too, has a springover.
