Looks fairly straight, but with that pic you can't tell how many gremlins are in ther. But, heck it's a trailer. I can fix it up with pennies on my head.

It does look straight. Civilian tail lights installed, so hard to tell if the original harness is still intact. These are the kind I've been jumping on! I've learned to check out the springs before you buy, it may add another $200 to the cost of a simple restoration. Have given up looking for straight floors with no pits. :) , cause those kind don't live here in the northeast USA.

Not every one of em Rick, just the cheap ones in good condition. :) And they're out there at reasonable prices from time to time. Some of them downright cheap. Could be used by OCOD ( obsessive compulsive olive drab) folks like us, or MV hobby folks to restore and resell for a profit. Either way they're adopted and cared for! Too many M-416's have gone to 4 X 4 clubs, or weekend campers named Bubba.
Honestly Rick, I live kinda "in town" and already have 3 military trailers, 2 M151's, 2 boats, 3 boat trailers, 2 motorcycles and my Mountaineer sitting outside already. I'm not currently in the market for anything, but always have my eyes open. :shock: If I had the ability, I'd buy that $1000 jeep with the rotisserie, like I have a square inch of driveway left to inhabit. I also collect HAM and military radio equipment, autographed baseballs, antiques, firearms of all kinds, and Civil War items to include diaries, CDV's and Austrian Lorenz rifles, or anything associated with the 114th Ohio Volunteer Infantry. My current girlfriend is a "minimalist" and hates the clutter, collections, displays and in general the amount of stuff I own. Now getting to a time in my life when retirement is in sight, I really need to eliminate a little of the vast amount of stuff I've collected over the years. That or pack it all into military trailers and buy a pole building ,or better yet my own storage complex! Finding an M-416 trailer for under $400 is now and will always be of interest to packrats like myself, if I buy them or not. So to answer your question, Nope! :P
