hello all, i am new here and new to the trailer addiction.
i picked up this trailer, having difficulty figuring out what it is.
it has ball hitch not a lunette.
has 5x4.5 hubs
Brakes but no linkage
Handles at all 4 corners
4 tie down on each side
Wood tailgate (removed)
Flimsy sheet metal fenders(removed)
Any guidance is greatly appreciated

Welcome to the G.

Modified M416 1/4 ton. Tailgate cut in, brake lever removed, lunette removed and ball hitch installed just from what can be seen in this one photo. I hope this helps. :)

Do the cable stow box brackets on the front panel of the body say M100 ?

looks like a later m100, agree with RonD...center section appears to be mounted upside down

You guys are right! The draw bars are definitely M100. WWII are "V" shaped, M100 are "U" shaped and M416 are "/" shaped. Yep, M100! Thanks fellas.

Thank you, all information is helpful. She is rough but I think it'll make a fine camp trailer. The more I look, research, and read on forums. I'm discovering, she is kinda of a frankinstein,
