Ok gents, I got an amazing gift today a great friend of mine blessed me with a partially reconditioned M416 trailer. Only thing is its in pieces, so I recovered it and spent some time with my buddy in the process. I hauled it back on top of the frankentrailer and its waiting for me to bolt the old girl together. I will post pics in the am but need to know if anyone has a resource to assembly?

i know this is a long shot, also need shocks for the old wagon

ok google was my friend and i found the manual, anyone do an axle swap yet to match tow truck?

Spring over is easy, But to use the parking brakes you must swap the backing plates side to side so the
cable is on top and out of the way.

Look here for many awesome 416 builds.

Will do, its not much to look at right now, but will do. I decided to ditch the stock axle and rims and go to a custom dexter axle with parking brake and hubs to match the m1009. The military had modified this at north island to have a tailgate, very robust. Not sure if im going to keep it or convert it back to original design
