Well he would be technically correct, but the part of the story that was left out is that the M105 series trailer is being completely phased out. The M1101 and M1102 trailers have replaced the M101 series and even those trailers are on limited life due to Uncle Sugar no longer ordering the...

Depending on how many times the truck has been repainted and the overall condition of the paint, there is no way that I'd build up the thickness of the paint any higher than it already is. Thick paint (.010" or thicker) is subject to cracking. Sand the CARC down to get a uniform flat surface...

With that large winch mounted behind the cab, I'd say M123 10 ton truck. If Dirt71 were around he'd peg that truck in a second. Unless the OP has lots of money I'd pass since it's not going to be road worthy without changing out the rear duals to get under the 102 inch width requirement.

To answer your question, all of the 900 series trucks have full air brakes. Depending on your states requirements, you may be required to have a class B drivers license with an air brake endorsement.

The only issue that I see with the linked tie downs are that you can't rotate the fitting so that it's in a straight line with the load. For your application it might not matter. I seem to recall that the mud flaps on my M116A3 were about 14" wide and 16-18" long. The mud flaps just barely...

The receptacle on your truck is the NATO version verses the older US two pin version. I'm unaware of anyone making the two pin version cables since the NATO receptacle has been the standard configuration for close to 20 years.

You got that correct. No reason to go any finer than 120 grit sand paper. Soda blasting doesn't deform metal as much as sandblasting does due to lower pressures used. A friend is in the process of doing a full restoration on a 1969 Chevelle. All of the sheet metal from the floor pan to the...

The cargo anchors are easy Trailer D-Ring Tie Down, Recessed Swivel Brophy Trailer Cargo Control RR06 You'll have to fab up something to attach to the tail gate since the M101 series trailers don't fold down flat like the M105A3 does. I swapped out the wheels on one of my A3's to civilian 16"...

The only thing you'll do with 8/3 cable is to set something on fire. The smallest cable you want to use is 1/0 gauge, and then only in shorter lengths. Cables longer than 20' should be 2/0 gauge or thicker.

I have a few sets of NOS NATO 20' cables with the two pin adaptors for sale. Pm if interested.

Since the vehicles were slashed and busted up you might want to check the fuel tanks for items that may have been dropped in before you attempt starting them. I've seen first hand what sugar does to an engine when placed in a fuel tank. There is a thread where someone dumped water in a fuel...

If you have a concern about the contents of paints you're working with, pick up the MSDS sheet and look at what's listed. As for isocynates, once they are reacted in cured paint, they are no longer a major issue. The other heavy metals are the concern.

At one time any I'd markings were coated with clear, but the practice has long been given up except in the electronics arena. Clear coats aren't just shinny.

Mike, all paints produced contained until the late 1960's. Lead was/is used as a drying agent that has a side benefit in that leaded driers also brighten up paints giving them rich colors. A lot of automotive paints had lead in them until the late 80's which os why they have cautions about...

That might make a nice low M101 trailer cover Kenny. You might want to keep one of them.

Too add to what Bob said, I get on Live Chat first thing in the AM and have them confirm receipt of your EUC. Any receipts over the weekend typically get lost or so I've found. I would love to be able to use my companies email server since I get a receipt confirmation, but there are some...

They don't make one for the M105a2 trailer. The M105a3, yes, but not the M105a2. Good luck finding one for the a3 as the part is listed as being manufactured by Pribbs Mfg who made the M105a3 trailer. I called them for replacement parts and they wanted to sell a complete unit for $650. And...

Even though the invoice shows the sales tax GL won't charge you the tax. Don't bother with the SF97 BS,Then Md title, just register it in Maine. Maine gets $90 to register and 5 years worth of tags. Md zapped me for almost $200 in taxes, title, tags and inspection fees for just 2 year tags.

What did you purchase? If it was and EUC item until the EUC comes back approved you won't receive a paid in full invoice, otherwise you should get the invoice soon. The last trailers I purchased, GL took 4 days before I saw a change of status on my account page. Check you GL page and click...

A lot of so called self etching primers aren't really self etching. If the primer isn't a two part product with one component containing phosphoric acid it isn't self-etching in the true since.
