So most of you know us and know we like projects. Well @jynx is humoring me with this build and allowing me to do the work. I’m pretty excited about it. This is an M100 USMC trailer from 1952. Plan is to turn it into our base camp trailer. Right now it’s rough but that’s ok. It’s a good learning experience. Cheers!

Should be a fun project, I’ve always wanted one.

Can't wait to see how it turns out. Looks like fun

Yep, this one is hers, I'm gonna offer support and technical advice, but I'm gonna try real hard to stay out of her lane and let her make the calls and do the work.

I may take on trying to rebuild the basket case Bantam that we got in the deal... Who knows

At least it has flowmasters.

A bride that is interested in learning/doing welding-wrenching-fabricating ... clearly a fantastic lady that you are lucky to be married to.
Good luck with this build.

I came to say the same.

I have the M416 manual if you need it. I can load it somewhere to give you access. A lot of it is the same unless you are able to lay your hands on the M100 manual.

Edit: Here it is http://ia802700.us.archive.org/8/it...-251-14TrailerCargo14Ton/TM_9-2330-251-14.pdf

Also, here is my old M416 thread if it helps:
Johnson Furnace # 6-8384 is mine!!!

Did a little work on 52 this week. Cold and rainy and dark after work so limited to about an hour at lunch the days I work from home. Removed the asphalt that had been thrown in the back and cleaned up the floor pan. Removed the hand break and got it back in working order. Next I need to get the wheel bearing assembly ordered and get her up off the ground so I can get under it to assess what’s going on there. Only a couple busted knuckles. Not too bad a week. I do miss sunny and 75 though.
