I bought this trailer, cheap ($200), in the hopes that it could be made into a matching trailer for the Mog. It's a someday project. Maybe. See the acquisition saga for how not to haul home a trailer. It has a plate on the front of the bed. Hard to read but "Body Model 00247-7" shows, not sure what that means.
A little surfing showed that the trailer's bed looks suspiciously like the cargo bed of a deuce-and-a-half. I wonder if the whole thing was made out of the back of a deuce wreck and some channel iron.

Suggestions from the mailing list:...I saw your military trailer [picture] and just wanted to let you know that what you have is very probably the back end of an old Chevy 1.5 ton dump/cargo truck of the G506 chassis series, in particular the G7106. The beds on those were about 9' by 6'. I [attached] two pictures. The first truck has 2 extra side angle supports and the second just has the 3 straight supports. Oddly enough the bed at 6x9 feet is the same size as the newer (since some time in the 50's) single axle military 1.5 ton trailers. I have one of those on which I changed the pintle eye to a standard 2" ball surge brake setup. Even with 5,000 lbs of sand in it you can't tell it's back there when braking. I tow it with a Chevy 3/4 ton van with 6.5 diesel engine.
