Looks different huh Adam?

The one from your project truck? I seem to recall it had a special 5th wheel? Not really room to mount a winch back there and still pull van trailers. (I don't have one anymore, but I'd like to keep the ability)

Pine isn't really strong enough to hold up for decking. There's also about a 19.5" span across supports. Some info about ACQ. http://www.centralstatesmfg.com/media/pdf/Products/Substrates-Coatings/ACQ-Pressure-Treated-Lumber.pdf

No I never did.

Ordered rough cut white oak. Current pressure treated lumber doesn't play well with steel due to the compounds used. (Corrodes metal) I am however going to mix up some diesel fuel with waste oil and "treat" the deck.

Deck removed, screws removed and ground flush, loose paint removed, bare metal primed, lenses taped. Ready for paint when the wind dies down.

The problem is the length, the M270 has a 40ft deck alone. It's gotta be close to 53ft limit already.

Does anyone have any designs for a set of steel ramps? I'm wanting something about 12ft to 14ft long. I'd like to build them for the M270 I have. I'd like to be able to load the M114 on it. (15K lbs max weight) But I'd also like to have the option to load a M35A2 or 5 ton if needed. I was...

There's a few bent sections of metal here and there, but so far, no cracks. I've thought about trying to straighten some of it, but it's really just cosmetic. I'd rather not stress the metal with heat.

Done with tearing off the deck. I'm going to sand and wire brush it tomorrow. Guess I will paint this weekend.

Didn't get much time to work on it today. But I did get it stripped down to the tandems. Also have the order placed for lumber.

Didn't get to work on the trailer much today. But I've got a quote for lumber. Also I bought a bit to help remove the screws. I've got over 50% of the lumber and screws removed now. Hopefully I can get it to 75% tomorrow. Or maybe better. I'm going to pressure wash the frame down once...

I was planning on addressing the height with the tires as well. I'd also be interested in the air brake setup! I also seem to recall someone posted up a 270 that they had swapped the springs for airbags to allow it to "drop" as well for loading and unloading. But I can't seem to find it.

I bought this trailer from Adam a year or so ago. He was able to bring it over to me Friday night. So my plan is to paint and replace the deck. As well as new tires. And figure out a ramp setup. It'll be used to haul the HMMWV and M114 mainly. But I think other trucks could be in the...

Mine does the afterglow as well, cycling the plugs on and off. 6.2's and 6.5's are a noisy engine. And I've never done a panic stop in mine, but I'd suspect it would lock the rears first. (lightweight on rear)

Congrats medi-cup. :D (It's a joke, Doc will get it)
