It's a great truck
Its not a "true" cucv, but so what.
I agree that it is a much rarer truck than a M1009
Plus, that paint looks great when new and maybe you can bring yours back.
There's a pic on this site somewhere where there were several deuces and CUCVs painted that color.
It was taken...
Yes
forgot about fast Idle
Mine kicks in even in summer.
When we first brought my M1008A1 back to life after years of sitting, after replacing/repairing lots of things, it would not start.
Cranked like a monster and had fuel, etc. New GPs, the whole bit.
Finally remembered to depress...
The M101A2/3's and M939's are still around, just coming out at a slow trickle. Plus the demil change on the 5 tons.
The flood of them is definitely over.
You won a nice trailer today.
Your gonna love it.
They aren't making anymore, so buy what you can.
New complete brake assembly's are available from Dexter.
I bought a set called free-back. Can back up a fully loaded trailer and it will not engage the brakes. Has parking brake function also.
Exact fit and no modification at all.
eBay has best price.
Haven't installed them yet. Hopefully...
I'm looking for a third one to do something very similar.
Also have a 06 GMC 2500HD and would be using that to pull it with.
Already have two matching truck wheels for it.
Will be normal paint and hitch, All led lights to current DOT standards, etc.
You and others have come up with some...

Its very easy to take it off and fold it up.
Plus your fuel mileage will thank you for it.
Its a barn door at highway speed. 65-70
I bet they (M416) are handy trailers. They look it.
Too small for my needs, but I would like to have one.
They didn't make as many and are much harder to find from what I've read.
If you do find them, they are more $$ than the M101 series.
Yea
I will never sell my M101A2's.
Unless it's...
I use mine almost daily on my ranch.
Dirt, hay, fencing, trash, scrap, ice, etc., etc.
In fact used the tailgate as a workbench today grinding some things to paint.
Any M101 series are excellent trailers.
Im still amazed just how useful they are and how easily they are modified,
if I ever...
Tractor Supply or your local farm supply store will have it.
All natural and smells good to us, but the mice can't stand it and keep out.
Been using it for years and have had excellent results.
There are dozens of different Military trailers.
From really big to really small.
Most are designed to carry only one thing.
Water, fuel, ammo, shelters, wire, telephone poles, etc.
A lot are big and heavy and impossible for most of us to use without a proper tow vehicle. (Yes, those would...
