Does this little metal box with a flip up lid look like it could hold a couple of letters ?
I have not seen one on a 3/4 ton trlr., my 53- M101 doesn't have it, but, I think I have
one on my 54-M104 1-1/2 ton trlr.that is what you are talking about.
I'll take a guess and say that it is for documents, i.e. insurance, ownership, etc. or if the
trailer has been loaded and all tarped up there could be a list of contents placed in the box
that could be checked if the trailer was left in a compound and not unloaded right away.
Anyone else care to take a shot at this ?
