Good afternoon, I just posted in the "Pay it Forward" section of the forums as I am now looking to donate the axle and wheel assembly. Is this something that you would still be interested in? I am quite a way from New Orleans though, Plant City, Florida.
I have an axle that was removed from what I believe was an M101-A1 trailer. It still has the hand brakes, wheels, and tires. It looks like someone attempted to remove the shock mounts, but stopped about ¼ of the way through one. I would like to donate this, not sell. To be clear, I AM NOT...

Sorry for all the questions, I don't know much about these military type trailers.
So any GM 8 bolt wheel should fit?
I don't want fancy, just looking to lower it a bit so it doesn't sit as high as it does right now. Looks a bit goofy and not fun to drive.
Good afternoon, this is my first military style trailer and I am having an issue with identifying the exact type or model that it is. The data plate looks to have never been stamped so I cannot go off of that, unless someone else has an idea of the markings that are on there. Any information...
