Got one

[jagular7]

No lights, but connector and wiring are there. Couple reflectors missing. Complete tongue is there. Parking brake works. Looked like something was welded to the top rail at the corners. Couple extra holes here/there (in odd places). Bed is complete and drains work well. Looks like stock shocks as well. No rust through. Bent fender on one side. Odd 'new' tires that show surface cracking. More pics.
Overall good to start with.







No, I didn't get it for $100.

That is in great shape very straight, just a bit of surface rust, and your plans are?

 

[R_Lefebvre]

Is that a bullet hole? What's with the recycling decal? Was it going to be recycled, or they used it to pick up recycling?

The trailer is in great shape! I am currently working on mine if you want any help or want to share any ideas. I know a local sandblaster if you need contact info.

Congrats! I never tire of seeing a vintage trailer given an extended lease on life.

Great. I put a list together the other day of the local media blasters - Blast It Clean, Blast Away Clean, Surface Finishing, Rogers Mfring (I used before), and Eagle Auto Stripping.

I haven't contacted them yet as I've had limited time at home once I get home.
Worse rust areas are the recessed areas behind the signs.

Saw on the KC CL someone looking for a M416. I thought of getting in touch to see if I could double/triple my money with no effort. But decided......nah.

The guy that sandblasted mine did it as a side job. The company, I believe within his own family, let's him do side jobs after-hours. It's amazing how clean it was when I picked it up. He did the tub and frame for $150. He is located on the Missouri side though just east of Ameristar. Let me know if you want his contact info or if you find a better price as that's always good to know as well.
