I'll have to take a pic of the one that lives here locally.
He owns and operates a "Militaria" store on main street. Even has a WW1 Bycycle Corps bike that is restored. |

Kewl. I'm curious so I have to ask. Why did you mark it as a vehicle in a Headquarters company of an engineer battalion?
When did they change the Bridge Weight Classification marker from yellow to OD? I never paid any attention. I just remembered years ago it was yellow. Almost a "shoot me" target. The color change might have been at the same time they went from white markings to black.

Do you have the trailer with round fenders or with flat fenders? It's been so long ago, I don't remember the model numbers of each.
I used to have a trailer with the round fenders but I got rid of it. I used it with my Toyota Land Cruiser. I installed a pintle hitch from a M38A1 on the Land Cruiser. I know the flat fenders came along about the time they implemented the M151 or therabouts. |

I have a "round fender" M-100 1/4 ton Jeep trailer for my M38 and a "flat fendered" M-416 1/4 ton trailer for my M151A1. The 416 has not yet been restored or received the going over...yet.
