Nice military trailers

Nice military trailers....With PIX

I looked at a couple of trailers today. They are not what I was hoping to find, but both were in great shape. They are the larger of the military trailers like you would find behind a duece-and -a-half. Measured eight by six and payload is 2250! Both had canvas bows and working brakes. Seller is asking 550 but said "cash money talks". If you need a bigger trailer, these are a steal. Look close to new but built in '68! I can post pix later if anyone wants.

Sorry it took so long for the update, but life has been happening pretty regularly around here. The man to talk to is named Lynn. (205) 296-8528. They are located between Montevallo and Alabaster on a farm. The plyboard is just a platform someone built over the tongue, and can be easily removed. The other trailer did not have it added on to it.

I'd like a M416 ideally and swap the rear axle to a 3500 lb unit.

This is neat, I wish I had the time and space for it:

I've sent that guy in Arab several email but he hasn't responded yet. That would have been perfect for what I need.

I've seen guys use the harbor freight trailer to as a backbone of similar builds. Nice

I am eventually going to build one using one of these axles. My dream trailer would be a m101 style scaled down to m416 size.

Thanks. I've bought an axle from vallery trailer sales before but didn't know if they were still in business. I'd look at the 4" drop axles if you want to use larger tires.

[bhmmapping]

why the drop axle, wouldn't that kill ground clearance?
