That is a very cool setup! Nicely executed.
I usually don't look at the vehicle modification/hotrodding section on here, so missed this the first time around.
Cheers
Excellent work! Coming along very nicely.
I see you even have the drain plugs. The big one sits directly under the engine oil pan so it can be drained.

Mainly for height reasons, I pulled the military 5th wheel off one of my M931A2s and replaced it with a Fontaine slider from a big truck junkyard. That lowered the nose of my trailers by almost 9", and allows the 5th wheel to move back a bit to accommodate short necked trailers to keep the...
Probably fuzzy (knobby?) logic, but it seems Kendelrio has this one well in hand, and much as I like all the contestants, I just can't see a truck as nice as ToddJK's get only one vote, so....

Is there an advantage to shifting that way?

I'm very impressed with the accuracy of what you are producing. That transmission cover is a very complex shape, but you got it!
Here is a comparison of your drawing to a picture of my spare cover.

Well, now that you mention those, this is my stripped DRASH trailer. ;)
Don't know why that one didn't cross my mind with the original question, I suppose because I consider it more of an LMTV trailer than Humvee. I'll have to go measure how long/wide the deck is. I know it is 56" of clear...
It is not unusual for vehicles to change services, either when no longer needed by the original service or when immediately required by another.
In the Marines, we usually benefited from other services' cast offs, but in a rare turn of events most of the Marine M35s went to the Army when the...
