Correct trailer for my M37

Post by rtkjmk »

Good evening all , I have a opportunity to purchase a MV105 trailer to tow with my M37 . What is the correct trailer for the M37 ? The trailer I am looking at has air/over hydraulic brakes (Glad Hands) with a trailer electrical plug . The trailer was arsenal rebuilt in 2002 and is is nice condition . Could I use the trailer even with the brake setup? The electrical plug I can change ,but I am confused about the brakes . Bob k

That sounds like the 1.5 ton trailer. You need the 101 series, 3/4 ton trailer.

That's a duece trailer. You need a M101 or M101A1. It will have rims that match your truck. I am still searching for an early M101 to match my '53 M37.

Right now Government Liquidations has about 50 M101 series trailers up for auction. I saw a couple of M101's and quite a few m101A1's. The Ft Campbell KY and FT Polk LA auctions would probably be closest to you.

I just got a very clean early M101 in. Missing very little, no rust. Located in MN.
