These were not a standard "M" series trailer, they are sorta like a 3/4T M116A1 but that is a close as it gets. There was also another style like it that was enclosed and was mostly used by the USAF and USN.

Interesting that none of them have lights or electrical plugs. No surge brakes either.

Wonder if they were used for air support equipment or stationary water pumps?

If my rhino will fit on it.
What do you bet those are 55-56" between the wheel wells. This is more or less what I've been wanting to strip my HDT trailer down into and it seems that 56" is about all the space you can get between fenders. I assume it's because all of them are made to mimic the track of HMMWV tires. It doesn't look like I will be able to fit my parents' Kubota RTV...not sure how that compares to a Rhino, however.

Rhino is 54 inches wide. If it was 1k range weight.That might work perfect. Im looking for something wide enough and long enough to fit on. Also light enough to move around with rhino. Oh and cheap...
