m105a2 questions

[Tracer]

Rusty, try Eastern Surplus, I purchased several parts from them for my M105A2. Also try Dave Wang at Army Trucks Inc. Ph. 661-252-8511 / armytrucksinc@aol.com I purchased my aluminum bows and fiberglass sides from Army Trucks a couple years ago. I'll also ask Dave at the Spring Meet at Camp Delta April 17-24 in Lodi CA. I'll send you a PM when I get back.

I didn't spot any bows, but a pile of rotted wood and of bow corners rusting in the yard at Smith & Edwards in Ogden, UT.

I need to start scouring junkyards.

The main thing for me is getting one with the upgraded dual air brake hoses, the one man 2 wheel landing leg, fiber glass sides, gates and aluminum bows.

You're not asking for much, are you?

The trailers with the single wheel roll around easier than the one with crank up gear. Perhaps that was the DOD justification. I've had both. The one with the single wheel could be drug abut the yard by an ATV. Pointer on these, if doing it by yourself, when you Jack it up, hook it to the truck before lifting the landing gear if possible. Only a small tap will knock it off a jack.

So no one knows who sells the aluminum bows and fiberglass sides ?

Check with Plan B supply, they have a few complete kits in crates.

Aint it? It seems like you get one or two of the better features on every one, but slim to no chance of every good feature on any one trailer.
