    "New" Trailer: 220KAK, 1960 Vintage 26' Box Van

    Mount a Pintle Hitch on the front of your truck. You can chase it around better if you see it.

    M101A1 tires

    The only thing I dislike about my M101 is those great big traction tires on it. Makes the trailer to tall. I think a smaller tire would be great, do they have a decent load rating? I have a couple 16/245 off a one ton I'm going to try, should drop my height 2". I flipped the light assemblies...

    Alternate Use of the Multi-Fuel Engine????

    I'm not much of a mechanic, but if you drop the two cylinders won't it miss and be really of balance? With the six cylinders aren't you firing a cylinder every 60 degrees of rotation. If you drop two cylinders there is a big gap in the firing order, my thoughts it would run like crap.
