Tried searching and couldn't find specific answers. What are you guys doing before you spray the Behr paint? I have an M101a2 that was is in CARC and had some spots painted with House paint years ago. I want to give it a new paint job using Behr exterior that i plan on buying from Home...

Looks Very nice!!! I REALLY Like it!

Thanks...!! I sent him a PM. Appreciate the assistance! Jeff

You and me both. I Prefer a tan one. I have been looking for the past 4 months, had one lead, the the guy wanted $550.00 for a new one. GMA (the manufacture of the covers) used to sell them individually to the public. They are about 4o miles from me. Last I was told when I called them and...

Thanks Plym49. You have been helpful.

Thanks Plym49. I think I am just going to price out a piece of 12 or 14 gauge sheet metal and weld in a new bed floor. Probably also going to try and weld up the rear panel or even make a tailgate. Searching the web now for examples on hinges, latching mechanisms, and fabbed support...

Plym49. Thanks! More good advice. I like the plywood idea, yet I can imagine that a lot of moisture would get trapped between the floor and the wood. Even if I coat the existing floor with POR15, rusty metal primer or whatever, I still think trapped moisture is bad moisture. However...

Thanks Mark. I knew I could count on you for some helpful advice and photos. I have been looking over on Expedition Portal as well. Just trying to get as many ideas as possible before I start on this one. I literally just finished up my M101A2 today (well 95% done anyway). Widened the...

Good ideas... Thanks. There is actually an aftermarket auto panel supplier just down the street from me. I will stop in and see what they want for replacement pickup bed floor sections. Might be cheaper buying the pickup bed sections than buying a sheet metal floor. Thanks!

Thanks Tigger. Yeah, I could just weld it back in. It was cut with a torch and as I am sure you know, the torch makes a much wider cut than say a saw or cutoff wheel. If I weld it back together, I will probably have to use some sheet metal patch to span the seam. I am currently looking...

About a week ago I posted photos of a M416 trailer that was for sale and asked for opinions regarding it's value. Needless to say I bought the trailer for what I thought was a fair price. Now I have to address all of its problems. I am looking to make this trailer "serviceable" again and am...

Wow.... wow... way over my head... Very very cool. Keep the pics coming.

Sound advice here.. Thanks guys. I will see what I can do. If he is willing to sell it for $300 I will take it, if not, I will pass. If I do get it, as suggested, I am going to try and save the floor. POR-15 and a do it yourself bed liner kit. strengthen up the tailgate opening with...

Very cool ideas and computer drawings. I like it. I say go for it... Post pics as you build. Jeff

Well I inspected the trailer again (a family friend owns it) and there are a few pin holes in the floor. If I do buy it, I am really wondering what to do with the floor and the rear panel that has been cut out. I am not sure if I should fab up a tailgate for it (since it was already cut) or...

He is asking $400.00. I really don't have $400.00 to spend on a trailer at this point (especially one that has been cut up) but I hate to let this one pass as we all know these are getting harder and harder to find. I am trying to figure out how much $$$ I would have to dump into it to get...

And a few more....

More photos..

Ok.. I have a chance to buy a M416 trailer for sale locally. I am just wondering what you guys think it might be worth in it's current condition. I have always wanted a 1/4 ton trailer and this is my chance. The trailer needs work, wire brush, possible sand blasting, paint, replacement...

I agree... To an extent. This site is made up of a bunch of "individuals" from all over the country and even overseas. Not everyone is able to write using "the queens" English with proper punctuation, capitalization etc. Nor do we all have the same levels of eduction. This forum is also not a...
