I think I did that, Jbulach, but on the front. I bought a sheet of 10 ga diamond plate and have built it in a bit. I boxed the bottom in for extra strength and to have a small storage space. This should give a good place for the pump and I still have enough DP for a cover, if frugal.

Yes, that's my thought too. It will go clear to the outer frame. I left 24" for the accessories "box" (the part you refer to will be the bottom). There is a heavy 5" "H" beam that is scarfed onto the tongue with lots of joint area to weld (a long lap joint). The 3/8" flange on that beam...

The axles are 7,000# each, so I'd say 12,000-14,000. Trailer will weigh about 5500#. The deuce bed fits inside the front frame and the frame corners get cut back to even with the front cross-member (about 1'), then a tongue reinforcement will go on the under-side to strengthen that part of the...

Here are a couple pics with the axles in place and the tongue from donor 105 fit to the frame. It's flush under for reinforcement. Before I get to the point of not being able to change the axle placement, does the weight distribution look too heavy on the tongue?

I had the steel tube on hand and had just enough to do it. The bottom tube is an od size 3 1/2" x1/4", has a but weld, but I got it welded straight . I wanted something substantial (3 x 10 x 1/4")...and of course that fit the axles right, while trying to keep the height down.

Making my deuce bed into a dump trailer to pull behind the M35A3 or M929A2. I have an M35A3 donor that I've once again decided to go 4x4 and use an M105 bed on it, making it a crew cab.... so I have a nice bed to start with and nothing wasted. Here is one axle staged under the frame and next...
