M416B1

The M416, the last of the military 1/4 ton trailers, can be distinguished from earlier 1/4 ton trailers by its squared fenders. There were two later versions, the M416A1 and the M416B1. The M416B1 used the smaller 6.00 X 16 tires on M422 wheels because it was designed to be towed by the USMC M422 'Mighty Mite' instead of the M151 MUTT that towed the M416's and M416A1's [http://www.steelsoldiers.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&p=36474] .

In addition to the smaller tires, the M416B1 also had lifting rings for airborne operations and jerry can mounts on each side. Approximately 2000 M416B1 trailers were built.
