Modified M416 trailer

Description:
Homemade camping/utility trailer. Started as an M416 military trailer. Severely rusted portions of the frame were cut out and replaced, along with the entire tongue except for the pintle. The pintle no longer rotates - I did not have a torch hot enough or hammer big enough to change its mind. The original bed was beyond repair, so I built the box. The inside is coated with Duplicolor bedliner, though the liner on the floor is flaking off. The leaf springs, axle, and hubs are original, though I did replace the bearings, races, and seals. The shocks are also new. The original hand brake is present and works. There is a fold-down table attached to the left side. The rack on top is made from Unistrut so that tie down points can be secured anywhere you need them. I really like this trailer but I hardly ever use it and I need the room in my garage.

Asking $1200

The ribs are 1" steel square tube. The rest is sheet metal. The side table has a square tube frame (thinner wall, don't remember exactly what thickness), OSB inside the frame with a formica-like sheet over the top. It was intended to be a food prep area.
