    "New" Trailer: 220KAK, 1960 Vintage 26' Box Van

    Nice trailer my 54 m269 has three light plug ins 6volt 12volt and 24 volt so maybe by the 1960s the 6 volt was gone for good . also I like about your trailer is no torque rods that will save you at least $ 1000 dollars .

    radiator troubles

    on my m211 I keep the coolant just where I can see it in the fill cap . because the presser relief is just a little higher then that . and any coolant at that level will just get blown out . so keep the coolant below the presser relief and you should be fine .
