Seeking M101 bed transport

[Recovry4x4]

I am looking into the cost and availability of bedsides from an M101. If you have something that might fit the bill, let me know. These are not to restore a bed but rather for a custom project.

Edit, bed bought in NOLA. Now looking for a ride to South Florida

Got some extra 105 sides if you don't come up wit anything else.

I need to clarify a little bit. I don't need the racks at all. I am seeking the actual sides of a bed. I am currently looking at some complete trailers at various websites but figured it was worth a try looking into the possibility of someone having a bed with a rusted out floor to chop the sidess off of. Bedsides on my M101A3 are 20" tall. If the 105 is at least that tall I could use them too.

check with crawdaddy as he has a m101a1 bed that might be what you are looking for outside New Orleans

Yep, I have a M101 bed with a partially rusted out floor and front wall, but the sides are in pretty decent condition.

I believe Mr Crawdaddy and I have come to an agreement on his bed so I am now looking at transport options to the GA Rally or parts of FL. The bed is complete as it sits but could likely be chopped down. I only need the sides and about 2" of the floor to be safe. Front is not needed nor is tailgate. The bed is in NOLA. Thanks

Talk to Bchevyman. He goes back and forth between here and there with a gooseneck trailer fairly often.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Thanks Jeep. He is super close by too!

 

[Jeepsinker]

He actually has a business associate in New Orleans, so that should make it even easier. I know he has to go pickup parts there soon(axles).

If that doesn't work I'm headed to drews the beginning of sept and could strap it on the back of the 818.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Have options. Thats great guys. Reaching out to bchevyman first. Thanks for all the help.

 

[Jeepsinker]

If you can't get ahold of him let me know and I'll PM you his number.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Gang, I'm still waiting to close the deal and submit payment for the bed. From there I'll start my PM campaign and once everything is in order I'll post up here.

 

[Jeepsinker]

Were you able to secure transport?

 

[Recovry4x4]

I haven't tried yet. I traded PMs with Crawdaddy and am sending him out money today or tomorrow so it looks like a done deal. I'll start reaching out to Tim and bchevyman.

If you can't get them to, I can bring it as far as Drew's for you. It's not much out of my way, as long as seller has a way to lift it.

 

[Crawdaddy]

I do have a small tractor with a front bucket that can pick it up. The only limitation is the arm on the bucket is short, so the edge of the bed rests on the tractor when it's lifted up and I can only put it on the edge of the trailer.

 

[Recovry4x4]

Drew's would be fine with me if he will hold it. I can get it at the rally. I'm going to slice the sides off it anyways to make it more manageable. I'll PM bchevyman real quick.

By all means, get it to the rally so the three of us can laugh at it too.

Mr Bradley, that was disrespectful.
