Not a pure salvage yard, let alone a military vehicle one, just a commercial recycling center, but Clearfield Recycling, in Clearfield, UT has stacks of these steel crates / shipping & storage containers. They are currently $65 each (+tax for the ruling class). They said in March 2023 they're raising the price to $85. No appointment necessary, just show up during business hours. I have no affiliation to this place.
It was super muddy in the back, but their little forklift pulled down a good looking pair that had been banded together towards the back for me.

Rough outside dimensions are 51" long x 40" wide x 38" high

Each of these had a good gasket inside and 2 "Remove Before Flight" tags. (They also looked like new on the inside but I forgot to take a picture). One crate was missing 1 latch, but oh well.
One of the crates had a DIY tool (or murder weapon? haha) inside for opening and closing the latches. Handy!

I'm going to bolt casters to the bottom of these and roll them under my deck. I spent (a little) more on the two sets of caster wheels than I did on the crates.
