Default M35 bed on M105 Frame w/ axle move
OK, I finally got around to completing the trailer for the bobbed M35A3 I am building. The trailer uses the 2x extra A3 tires/wheels off of the 3rd axle that was removed and the A3 truck bed.

I moved the axle back 2'. I moved the air/hydro brake assy back and extended the air side flex line to correct the move.

I figured out a way to test the brakes without a truck too. I drilled out a QD air fitting to screw on the airline then supplied air through a regulator (100 PSI) via facility air.

The tongue weight is 280# (~10% of the trailer's empty weight) and it pulls great.

I bet it is easier to backup now with the axle farther back on the frame. Seems like a longer trailer gives you more time to react.

Man, that's just backwards.

Seriously though, looks good.

Default Yup...
I was thinking the SAME thing when I was looking at the package. All of this work for the same cargo area as when I started the conversion.

Recycling the bed and trailer frame really cuts down on the waste produced by the conversion.

Before I moved the axle back the tongue had -10# tongue weight. Had to use a hi-lift under the rear to keep it on the front dolly wheels.

Default backing
Yes it is much easier to back now. Shorter truck with longer trailer makes for a nice package for backing.

I wish it were staying but it belongs to a customer. This truck pushed me over the edge with buying the 900 series 5 ton in HI. I love the automatic...
