That looks great! Tons of work but well worth it. I know you don’t do things half-a$$. I still want that camper trailer!

Use structural adhesive and never worry about heat warping or fire The ones in use today are as strong as steel and will last a lifetime. They are used on aircraft everyday. Loctite makes several and its the brand used in helicopter manufacturing. The stuff I use is for aluminum, but will...

Angle of pic makes it seem worse than it is. Stock M1008A1 with CUCV rims and stock size tires.

Finally installed new set of tires. They Were way past due. Been gone flying a lot lately and haven’t had time until today Was planning on Michelin’s, but decided on Coopers All Terrain. For what I use truck for, these will be fine. Stock size and E rated. Made in USA Rides and handles...

Finally got rid of the set of HMMWV wheels and tires that have been in it for weeks. Dang tire sets are heavy. Now I can use trailer again!

Those brake levers are on the unobtainable list. I too would like to see that! New ones are impossible to find. They are built well that’s for sure.

That is a commercial trailer. I’ve seen a few around here. No clue on details. Unless you have to have it, stay away from tilts for any equipment. Problems with tongue have been mentioned and depending on equipment type, loading is a nightmare unless it’s a small track vehicle (skid steer)...

ACDELCO still makes the ignition parts.

Most aftermarket cables are junk and do not fit properly, according to old threads. You get what you pay for. Why waste $24.95 for a lousy cable? If you can’t find a GM one, recommend to have one made like mentioned in thread above. I still have my NOS GM ones and haven’t used them yet.

If you find an aftermarket boot that fits, post info to help others. Spicer does not make one that will fit. I think I bought cucvrus’s last factory GM boot for my M1008A1. Still haven’t installed it. Soon........

I installed one almost 3 years ago and have yet to use it. Truck always starts like a champ all the way down to -6*.

His truck His rules

Must be a Eastern US thing...........

Yes I’ve called them both about a year ago. Once they heard the words civilian and individual, they couldn’t get off phone fast enough. Emailed also. Didn’t matter being a veteran.

Yes I looked up that long ago. Their nowhere to be found. Would love to be proven wrong as I want to buy four new ones. Some levers out there are close, but not identical. Just like the cables. Someday.........

No I’ve contacted the trailer manufacturers (Of my trailers) to find out. They refused to even talk to me since I’m not the government or a Corporation.

Still amazes me how scarce parts are for these trailers. Thousands built and can’t find a correct NOS brake lever and other parts.

I had one bent almost 90 degrees at mounting bolts when I recovered trailer. It straighten up very nice, but wasn’t easy since you can’t disassemble them. Especially the knob. If I had an extra one I could figure out how to take it apart. Not risking the ones I have, as they finally work.

There are a few than could be adapted. Wouldn’t be original and would look weird, to me anyway. That price is insane, like most of their items.

I know this is an old thread but at least the question will be somewhat answered. All of the missing parts are still available commercially. Croft Trailer has the factory surge brake parts. Dexter and Redline will have the axle parts and springs, brake shoes, etc. Dexter will build you a...
