It seems there are a lot of what appears to be correct answers here!

The first truck is a M1087a1
After reading that included PDF about it, that is one cool truck! I'm guessing they are to new for surplus yet?

Just looked at Gishner Shelters website. The box looks like their GSM-459 shelter box
I have been on their site and somehow never found that shelter. For my RV project that is exactly what I need, the standard version is more or less the equal of the civilian insulated shipping container but it is 2,000 pounds less weight. From the looks/sound of it the ones with expandable sides work more like a modern RV slide than the older folding (manual labor intensive) M109 type expanding sides. If so, then I REALLY want one of them! Any chance of a lowly civilian finding one available?

Again, it cant be a 1087, unless somewhere along the line it lost its box, and found this one on the side of the road. And if you've removed the box, well, then its a 1036. May I refer you to FMTV A1 R M1087 A1 - BAE Systems , read the paragraph "construction" I agree, Doghead is correct, but that aint the box Stewart and Stevens put on a 1087

Nice Box though
