Has anyone ever seen one of these trailers?

[Hifihunter]

It is an M101 Trailer made by Twin Coach 1960's. Other than the auction site where I'm bidding on this one, I can not find any info. on this M101 variation. Appears to have a "Service like bed". Anyone ever seen one of these in person? I'm thinking of buying this one. Are there any issues that I should be aware of? Thanks.

I wonder what the weight is? It looks like it could be quite heavy. Which you may want to consider depending on what the tow vehicle is.

Most of the military specials were built for specific duties.
Looks like a nice trailer should weigh in at around 1500 pounds empty.
Looks like the original tailgate and tub are built into the box.
Older 101 with hand brakes,
Simple electric brake conversion with a new axle and matching hubs to the tow vehicle.

Good luck!

How tall would you guys guess those sides are (from the ground to the top)?

I would say 66" from the ground to the top.

My 101A2 is 46" from the ground to the top of the tailgate.
I would guess anouther 20" to the top of the boxes in the picture.
