Here are some pics of a lowboy made by a fellow SS member from the frame under an expando van.

Now it's stuck in your head MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Is that your expando trailer without the body? That looks about perfect for what I am thinking.

i am also working on converting my M35 into a tractor, i picked up a commercial 5th wheel today for $250. it will bolt to the frame, and i hope will be removable( with the backhoe) and i can still use the cargo bed as needed...

That is the idea I had as well. I just got a fifth wheel plate from a wrecked semi. (Uncle owns a trucking company).... I would like to make this a bolt on/off situation if possible. Let me know what you come up with.

Wreckerman! That beavertail M295 is exactly what I'd like to make. Do you have any larger photos of it?

Castle Bravo.....the post was by SS member Miltrucks...maybe you can do a search and find the link.....he is not on too much anymore.

If you want an M275, your best bet is to find one for sale. They are rare but they are out there.

I use mine for pulling my 2 M128A2C's (12 Ton). One of my trailers has a couple 100 surplus Gore-Tex Parkas on clothing racks up and down bothsides of the trailer.

I do suggest using the 6 Ton trailers behind the M275's. Anything bigger is much better with a 5 Ton tractor.

Kevin,
That 2 1/2 ton tractor you have pictured, dose it have 11.00-20's on it?

Thanks for the info. It seems like a 6 ton rating for that trailer might be a bit low.
