I titled an M101 as Homebuilt and it was easy, no $60 SF-97. Then, when SF-97s were free because GL was backed up, I decided to do it the “right way” with 3 M105s and 1 MKT-85. WHAT A HEADACHE! The biggest problem is that the Army does not assign a unique serial number to each trailer, like civilians do; it only assigns lot numbers. The real trouble started when I tried to explain that to them.
Many times there can be several trailers in the same motorpool with the same lot number, so you can’t use it. I tried and somebody in the state had already registered a trailer with the same lot number as one of the M105s. Since I had had a State trooper verify the numbers the lady put an ‘A’ at the end of the serial number and told me to change the plate on the trailer to match. One of these days I’ll get around to doing that.

PS I just looked at your photo. I hope that you don't intend to haul that M105 loaded behind a small pickup. Loaded it can weigh in at 6,000 lb and that needs brakes and a sizeable vehicle in front of it.
