Your right, I went back and found it. They don't look half bad behind one.
Re: Any pics of a M416 behind a M37?
Problem with putting 1/4 trailer behind a 3/4 truck is when you want to back it up. You can't see it worth a darn and it will jackknife on you faster than you can spit. Pulls great, but if your backing you better have a ground guide (which if your backing up per mill standards you do but in the real world...).

Id unhook to put it away instead of backing it in the garage. If you ever drive a semi tractor with a dolly behind it for towing doubles im sure its close to the same thing.

I'm working on buying one. They seem to be hard to find close to me in good original condition ...

Bert,
I hope to have it done by the museum opening day at Fort Carson on June 4th. Its a really big event I plan on having the M37 at.

Jay,
That came out looking great, it looks good behind the M37. I noticed that you even found a new data plate for it.

Re: Any pics of a M416 behind a M37?
New tires ,most of the bolts, light cord, reflectors ,data plate , tail lights, etc.
Thanks, I'm glad it turned out well. I'm on the fence about buying a canvas cover for it.

Re: Any pics of a M416 behind a M37?
If you buy the canvas cover make a ridge board down middle to shed water off of it. Even if you store it indoors it looks good. P.S. Magazine showed the official MWO for it by using a 2 x 6 and cut a 60 degree on two corners of the board and then notch the opposite corner to fit over the rim of the bed. The board fits the length of the trailer. I've also seen folks cut down duce and a half bows to go over the width of the trailer bed to make bows that way also. I've even seen someone take a set of tonneau cover bows to do the same thing. I loved having the cover when I had a M416.

Re: Any pics of a M416 behind a M37?
I did the same thing as K8 described for my trailers but I used a length of 1 inch PVC pipe and 2 tees.
