Converted van trailer to flatbed ?

[m.walker]

Alright I've searched all over on here and I give up ! Someone took an expandeable van trailer , took the body off and made a flatbed out of it with a beavertail and ramps . Whoever did can you post pics or PM them to me ? I think they only posted one pic if they have more I'd like to see them please . Others are interested as well , Thanks Mark !

Eric cleaned out all his extra trucks and parts to build a house. You might be better off sending him an email at his website, miltrucks.com.

Yup - He's right on that one. I've been away for a bit working on the house and site plans, but actually timing is great as I just really logged back into things yesterday.

Here are a couple pictures of the trailer. Dovetail built out of another deuce frame attached to the rear of the expandible trailer. Front left alone with the fold up dollys. Bed added and then stake pockets and rub rails over entire length. Fold up ramps on the rear that fold over to the proper height to hold "long" objects on the trailer. Front ramps detachable to get things up on step deck. Roller fairlead on front to run rear tractor winch through straight or angled to load trailer with.

Overall works great, pulls great behind the M48 and "looks" right overall. Was set up for hauling another deuce on the bed, but works great for forklifts, and other assorted pieces of equipment as well.

I like that idea, someone could even build one into a bumper pull for a deuce..

Nice trailer though!

I did this with an M117 trailer. I welded a tongue from an M353 and added a beaver tail to make it 28' long. It pulls nice and with the single axle, it has a great backing radius.

And by the way...it's for sale.
