I have been thinking more and more about putting a 5th wheel plate back on the 54'. Obviously, since the truck has been stretched forward and aft of the bogie it is no longer a true M-45, and with the 5th wheel plate on it won't fit into the category of a M48 because of the stretched wheelbase. Which brings me to the topic of this post...
In my searching I have yet to actually find a list of air over hydraulic trailers approved for use with the M44 series. There are the obvious ones that everyone knows about like the M105 family, but just what did Uncle Sam intend the M48 and M275 to carry on it's back?
Additionally, are there any photos out there of a M45 set up as a bolster truck? Do any of the bolster bogies still exist?
So, lets start a list of the trailers "approved for use" towed behind the M44 series and on their back. If possible post your pictures and experiences towing that particular trailer.
