I just picked up this US Army Dunbar-Kapple M100 with all data plates dated 12/51 complete with a few bubba mods. It's rust free and has seen some metal work done in the past in the right rear corner. It even has a rebuild tag from the "Oppamma Ordanance Depot" Japan, 1957 which was in existence to rebuild equipment rounded up from WWII and the Korean Conflict. I plan to replace the lunette, landing leg and casting, install some NOS lights and change the intervehicle cable to the hard wired version. The tires should be 7.00 x 16.00 also I believe. Those ones are too nice to swap out right now. I have the customs document that shows this trailer was shipped to Canada from Great Britian in 1989; so who knows how it got there in the first place? Maybe it was brought back from Korea with a British Unit? In the off chance, does anyone have any parts for one of these things sitting around?
