Nice informative post Dan on a relatively obscure aspect of trailers!
AFAIK the GS-18106 was the electronics version of the GS-18100 series.
The class seems to vary slightly but mainly it was a 2.5-ton capacity
trailer.
If anyone out there has a knowledge of a complete listing of the GS
numbers I would appreciate knowing as all I have are fragments of the list!
