Another, but unique ID request

I’ve been searching for days to find info on this one. Seller doesn’t know much about it, no model #, and it’s a bit far from me to go see it with no idea what it is.

Anybody have any ideas? Could make a cool camping trailer but looks very heavy!

Just a guess;
Modern Pioneer Tool trailer that replaced the original 1960s trailers

Looks like a SECM body from a CUCV contact maintenance truck mounted on an m116a2 or m116a3 trailer chassis.

That makes sense now. Very interesting, might be able to use it, that means it has a lot of storage for sure…….. The ladder is strange though isn’t it? Wouldn’t that be the back of the cab?

really appreciate the info, I think your on the right track. Thanks.

Whomever married the box and trailer together did a good job from the topside at least.
That definitely looks like CUCV SECM body as mentioned but also looks really top heavy for the trailer

Pics of the inside and underside would be great.

Agree with the above, M1031 box. The ladder is part of the modifications for trailer mounting, not original to the box. Same for the spare tire.
Here is a picture of the what the front originally looked like. This box is the same, but has the wheel wells for a dually truck (there were very few of those).

Really cool trailer!

Cheers

Wow! You guys are good!

Thank you for the detective work. I'm going to look at it today, I'll take pics for sure. Not sure if I'll get it, really depends on how good the modification to the trailer was done.

Wonder if these things are heavy, looks like it.

The maintenance body is aluminum so it is really not too heavy without tools in it.

Looks like the oe rims have been replaced. I would look to see if these are trailer tires at least d preferably e to handle weight and not just regular passenger tires.

If not price your bid accordingly.

I would buy it just on its uniqueness alone!
Never seen one of those before.
Talk about handy!

oh I bought it! More pics soon.

Outstanding! Looking forward to seeing more.

This is what used to be inside that left front door.

Here are a few more pics. Got a lot of work ahead of me, need to put crossbars across the top so we can put our roof top tent up there. Pressure wash, sand, repaint. Extend the chains (first thing to do).

Then in time I’ll line the inside with insulated board, flooring, lights, windows in the back, etc to make the inside a camper. Full offshore hookup electrical wiring, battery and solar setup, and more.
