Saw a couple of these at a surplus store in Trenton, TN for $350 + Tax.



Was thinking you could possibly turn one into a camper/trail/pop-up trailer or something like that. They are heavy duty but weigh a ton unless you do some gutting out.

Maybe the M-416 might work better. Looks smaller and alot lighter.

Ooops posted the M-332 pics.

Here is the M-416:

If anyone else is crazy like me here is a good site to get old military trailers:

Government Surplus Auctions at Government Liquidation

From what I saw the following would be good candidates also:

M116
M101A1

Is this the online equivalent of talking to yourself?

Lookin that way :rofl:

Just got excited about this and posting as I found stuff. :redblob:

Edit: The 2 energy drinks I had prolly dont help much either, lol

I like the M416. The Bantam is also very nice. Anything else is just a bit too heavy.

That price is really attractive. What was the name of the surplus store? I might have to drop by. How heavy would you say it is?

2500 lbs as it sits. Its a 1 1/2 ton trailer.

The M116 (1100lbs) & M101A1 (1350lbs) are 3/4 ton trailers. Look like better options and there are quite a few on the website I listed. I have the info on the surplus store at my office if your still interested. I can get it to you in the am.

Thanks, that would be great. That is pretty dang beefy. I guess you would use a pintle hook to trailer that? Wonder what size it should be.

You can get one at TSC to fit in your 2" receiver.

Great. Another web site to waste hours and hours of my valuable time. What do you think my wife would say if I bought a gently used 6 x 6? Could I put all of my things in it and still have a place to sleep?:cheers:

If you like that site, then try these too

Swiss Army Vehicles - The Prime Pinzgauer and Unimog Source or my favorite at

Welcome to Cold War Remarketing!

This would make a great offroad RV and FJ tow vehicle

Bobkid, you're terrible. That site is now bookmarked and I find myself working with strange math in my head.
