The prices of the M101 series trailers are slowly creeping up as the govt. stocks go down. However, the prices of the M1101/1102 are coming down from what they were when the just started coming out. Supply and demand, simple.
I went and saw them at the yard again and I was wrong - it was sitting in a M105 trailer, just the tires were flat so the trailer looked lower to the ground and hence my confusion.
I took a picture but the picture came out all wonky on my camera phone. I'm gonna wait until later this year to...
Few pics of what I saw there, and the boarding ladder I saved:
Pics 1-2, the 6-step boarding ladder, nice but a slightly damaged step.
Pic 3: where forklifts go to die.....
Pic 4: nestled back in the weeds, a M332 trailer waits for rescue
Pic 5: Fiberglass troop seats, looks like for deuce...
I think I paid $200 or so for mine when I bought it from DRMO out of Chambersburg PA in 1998, and it was BAD. Very rusty and 14 layers of paint, one wheel was locked up and wouldn't budge, the brake system was shot, the wires were rotted off and the light housings were cracked. By the time I...
Very cool, please post a lot more pics of the restoration when you get there. Those trailers are very useful and getting rarer in good shape (and for decent price) every year.
Well, got back from another trip there - hot as heck again, sweating to death in the 101 degree heat and 90% humidity, but I got the rest of the CUCV antenna guards I could find, a 6-step boarding ladder for another member, some bows and staves for deuce/5-ton bed, and something I'm really...
I think your cruzer would be much better with a body. And wheels on the trailer. Might improve the chances of you actually getting there in, well, an actual solid object. :)

This is a neat thread, great ideas here!
The storms are supposed to start in the later afternoon - I'll be there at 0900 and be gone by 1330 or so. Should miss it, but it will still be hot as heck all day long. Sweat is the price I pay to pick around in a military junkyard.
Anyone need anything? The pics of what they have are...
There is a story on a fullsize Moab offroad expedition in the newest Four Wheeler magazine. In addition to a really nice M37 with a maintenance body, it shows a full size M715 with a bobbed bed, the caption mentions it will be the subject of a future feature article detailing the build.

One thing you haven't said is if the owner is asking a price at the moment.
If he's looking for offers, I'd say start at $300 and work up. NICE M416 trailers bring $800-1000 nowadays. This is not nice. It's not BAD, but it needs a lot of TLC.
