I found those, thanks! They are the M103, rated 1 1/2 ton and dimensionally look like the bed area of the M105. That would be a great platform for a utility trailer.

WM, I ain't got the gumption to tear apart a piece of equipment like a van in order to cannibalize it. Building up from a M200a1 would be my first choice for my purposes.
You guys have a point about lowering the deck height and CG. I was thinking about maintaining tire/rim specs just to manage...
pmramsey, that is a good looking set up you are running. It's not the direction I am headed but do tell, any chance of fitting deuce pattern rims on those hubs?
Thank you,
Rick
Yes, nearly 100% off road.
I thought the M1061 rims and tires are highway oriented?? I'll go take another look and see about that and the M998, thanks.
Ha, your trailer weight alone is a half ton from the pintle limit of the deuce if fitted with a winch! Talk about conservative rating!
Rick
I have not yet encountered a flatbed trailer that utilizes deuce rims and 9:00x20 NDT tires.
Something tells me the 6,000 lb towing capacity of the deuce limits the trailer choices to the M105 cargo and genset trailers.
Have I missed something? If you have any ideas, shout them out.
Fitting...
