Recently acquired Pioneer Tool Trailer

[txm37]

I recently scored a couple of pioneer tool trailers with a buddy about a month ago and wanted to share some of the pics as well as update pics since i have already stripped and primed mine. A search of all of the posts on these leaves me with a couple questions. Does anyone have a pic or reference material showing where and what markings go on these trailers? Also does anyone have a copy of the manual? I see where some have it in a pdf but haven't seen any responses. I already have the manual for my other M116A2 (genset) which covers the chassis under the pioneer tool trailer. Would just be nice to have the actual manual for it.

Had to throw in a pic of it behind the M37.

And here are the latest pics of the resto. Had it sand blasted and just finished priming it late this evening. If the weather holds up in the morning I'll shoot the green and get it closer to done.

I always thught that was a neat trailer. You got some new tires too.

Yea that was a nice bonus. Makes up for torn up fenders. But that was a easy fix.

Ok. It's been a while since I updated this post so here is an update. I'm still trying to get a copy of the manual. I've filed a FOIA request since that seems to be how others have got theirs. The manual is even restricted to those with access to the govt manual database. That aside after the holidays I was able to get it painted. As for the markings that was a tough one but I was finally able to locate a painting TM that referenced these trailers (I think its in the TM section here). Is said the markings are the same as a M101. Some where else also said there is a 18" star on the roof as well. So that's how its painted now. Since the data plate on the rear door wasn't in the greatest shape I scanned it and had it recreated. Today while getting some parts for the M37 I discovered there is another data plate that's supposed to be on the front of the box with trailers dimensions and its specific to the tool trailer. I got a good pic of it and am going to see if I can get it recreated as well. Here are some finished pics.

Very nice. Makes me wonder what I should do with my tool trailer. I hesitate to repaint it since it has a 4 color camo pattern on it now.
