Won a 1987 M149A2 at auction.

Welcome to Steel Soldiers.
The Technical Manual for the trailer will have the part number(s).
Available free for download in the TM section.
Post your parts needed request in the Parts Wanted forum.
They will tow it fine but it looks weird together.
Years ago things were a lot cheaper and plenty of trailers.
That is no longer the case on both counts
Stick with the M101A2.
It was designed for the CUCV and matches it perfectly.
The M1101/2 looks weird behind a CUCV since it was designed for a completely different vehicle.
Two different generations that don’t look good together.

In sharp turns the trailer will make contact with the tow vehicle.
The Military came out with an extension kit to solve the problem.
The NOS kits were on eBay but I think the supply dried up.
Haven’t looked in quite a while.
