If I knew where all his answers were, and how I could arrange them properly in time with this post I would.

those of you who had the answer, kindly add it here.

I think... going from memory of what I saw posted... its some M135 axles (maybe frame) with a M35 box on it converted to a trailer?

This trailer appears to be an M211 which has had the cab/engine/front axle/etc removed & the frame bent into a "V" in order to make it a trailer.

It is one of a kind & will support MUCH more weight than you will be able to put in it.

A couple things to think about....

#1 - There are probably no brakes on this trailer. If there are none, I would be very careful about relying on your deuce to stop itself & this trailer loaded or not. If there are brakes, you should be good to go.

#2 - I would definitely agree that this would be an AWESOME parade trailer! Just paint to match & you would have a reeeeeeally unique look.

Good Luck!

It looks like there is brakes... judging by the master cylinder, and hose up front.

Lets call it a hybrid trailer? I vote M211 on the axle housings and m35ish on the bed.
Someone made it but not military issue.
Like I said before...unique...and worthy of discussion...in the proper way.
When in doubt...just ask...someone will help...if asked correctly.
If anyone on this site says they know everything about MV's...they are way better than anyone I know...but combined we can get on target quick. :p

Based on the pics from the other thread it has a dropside tailgate and there was what appeared to be some sort of data plate on the front of the bed. I'd like to know what that data plate said if that's what it was.

All the answers were in the other 3 threads. I'm stupified by this. Open one back up and all the answers will magically appear.
