First off I'm sorry if this is in the wrong category as I can't figure out where else to put it.http://www.specialtytruck.com/detailvie ... um=2943676 By some ironic thing when I got my truck it had a mudflap from this wrecking yard on it and I found them online and just yesterday I had to go to funeral for a friend of my mom's and BOOM! we pass the place on the highway! I know the trailer is a 72 but I want to use it for work, and the car shows I enter are more for fun and are not very serious when it comes to judging but like my air compressor idea it would be near the end but seeing the price I don't want to sit here and watch it vanish. also can anyone read the data plate? They seem clueless on the details.

I believe that is general purpose/generator trailer M-353 Used from Vietnam up through Desert Storm. There are some currently still being used by the NH National Guard. You might find one on Government Liquidation for about half of what they want.

You are right on that Bill, According to these websites http://olive-drab.com/idphoto/id_photos ... railer.php http://www.utilitytoolandtrailer.com/m353.htm

But I never thought over the fact of these using air over hydraulic brakes as all I tow have electric brakes so maybe its a bust :(
