Guess nobody is in the market for an M416 trailer. This one slipped through ebay without any fanfare.

I would have a hard time paying 200.00 for that. Floor is gone, frame is gone and bent in the rear. Pretty rough.

There's probable 200 in parts.

Granted the floor was going to get mighty thin when sandblasted, that's often the condition of many 45 yr old trailers. I thought the frame looked good and it had the wire harness, pigtail and was updated to composite lights and brackets. The fact that the springs are in good shape is worth a hundred bucks. I' haven't found a cheaper M416 in all my years of watching for them, granted I'm not as old as you are and never experienced the days of $50 engines and $100 M416's.

I've never found a rolling frame for that cheap and I've been looking for one of those for at least 4 yrs. I've looked for trailers so hard, that I currently have three jeep trailers and have my eye on a fourth,a second flatbed. Lucky I sold the M101A1 trailer or I'd have zoning peeps on my butt again for "too many toys" in the driveway. I hide the 416's and the M762 in the backyard and behind the garage with an extra boat trailer, just to steer clear of the city ordinances.

Get yourself a forklift and some racking and start stacking them.

$200 is a bit much. It looks as if they used it on a farm. Too much work to make it look good behind a M151.

I'm in the market for one and looked at it after your first post but figured since I would have to hire out all the metal work that by the time I was finished I would have as much or more into it than if I found one restored.

True but if you hire it out to me then after I am done I can afford to get another.
