Evening all (well those on GMT anyway)

I have managed to get myself an M101 Trailer to go with my truck. Its needs a bit of work but is an early one and solid.

I do have a few questions though;

- In terms of markings would the trailer have its own serial number?
- Would this follow the format of the regular vehicle number, same number of digits etc?
- What other markings would there be, same unit markings as the truck? Stars?

I am also looking for a bunch of parts but Im thinking being in the UK wont make this easy...

Thanks in advance.

Paul,

The trailer would have it's own serial number on the data plate. As far as it stenciled on the cargo box, good question.
I have seen some that have had the serial number stenciled on the tailgate, although the trailers I come across at shows generally have one star and a "US Army" on the tailgate.
In my trailer manual TM9-2330-202-14P there is an illustration that shows a trailer with a number on the tailgate, but there is no section on markings other than the dataplates. I will look into this some more and report back. I will need to know as I will be painting mine next spring

thanks for the response. Anything I find I will share also
