    Seanz0rz's M-762 Trailer Buildup

    why you should never give me 500 dollars:

    i go and i buy stuff like this:


    scored it for 500, now i have to battle the DMV to register it, but that's fun for later.

    its a '67 M762 3/4 ton flat bed trailer.

    the good:

    looks relatively unmolested, besides the cage on top (staying for now)



    tracked very well on the drive home, didnt clang around nearly as much as i thought it would. im extremely pleased!

    the bad:

    tires are crap:


    one of the shocks is missing a bushing, and parking brakes disconnected:



    some less than clean welds, but im not worried. it will be a great trailer with some small, relatively inexpensive upgrades. then after my summer trip i can start pouring money into the blender.

    few questions for those in the know:

    tires need to be replaced, with what? dont have alot of money to spend on new hubs/axles/tires/wheels. if i could find mil spec replacement tires, that would be ok for now, then i can sell them at a later date when i do upgrade to 6 lug hubs and matching wheels and tires.

    registering the thing. doesnt have a title or registration. just apply for a new title? i have my bill of sale and the previous owner's bill of sale.
