Just got this in my possesion. Ive owned it for a while and had/have intentions on making an offroad / expedition trailer out of it. Has anyone ever seen anything like it. Looks like an m416 base. May end up parting with it. I see it sitting in this garage for a while.

Naw its smaller than that. Hitch is wayyyy to low for that, even it it were higher still probably wouldn't be tall enough. I'm almost positive its a 416 with boxes on it. Not sure if it was built like that originally or custom after the fact. It's extremely clean though.

Not one on there. He may have done it. He did own a purple 50 merc coupe that had been chopped and in hot rod mag and all that. So im sure toolboxes would have been easy for him ha.

It almost looks like a service truck (pickup) bed sitting on a trailer.
 
Its def a m416 with boxes added to it. Whether the po did or it came from the military like that idk, but its clean. I believe im going to sell it. I dont want it to sit, which is what it will do.
 
Neat trailer! Dont think its an M416. And def not am 100. I would have to see underneath it to be sure, but if it is an "M" trailer there aint much left of it!

Couple of things...
The front rails out to the hitch are not M416. They are too long and are turned inside out to be an M416. Also, they appear to have been moved up above the original frame
The axle, (or hubs), is not M416 or M100. They never used that style of hub on either trailer. That hub looks like a rear hub from an early Jeep Dana 44 with a two piece axle
 
Its def a military trailer thats been reinforced and had boxes added by someone. This guy was originally from cali. So no telling where its orginally from or who did the work. But it's def a 416 or 100 with a gate added. You can see the outline of the old trailer where the boxes were added. But your probably right not much left. Still a great platform and solid trailer.Ill take pics in a second..
