    Making a Dolly Converter

    RE: Update on the M 200A1 Dolly Converter It is in fact an old manual slider I nearly fainted when I found it since I used to work as a truck mechanic on the B3 connector of the New York Thru way and had to fix several of them for drivers that came into the shop. I did some welding on the...

    Making a Dolly Converter

    RE: Update on the M 200A1 Dolly Converter The one you see on my tailgate is a manual slider and I paid $200 for it cash including tax from a good truck salvage yard. It had some rust underneath but is in good shape and is going on my M 200A1. I plan on finishing this soon and will continue to...

    Making a Dolly Converter

    Well I picked up the fifth wheel on Saturday and I really want to go back to that yard since they have tons of truck parts and an M 872 trailer sitting in their yard. I will post a picture of the fifth wheel that I picked up on this thread but it is already in my photo album on the site.

    Making a Dolly Converter

    Thanks Ken and Kenny, If you could post some pictures in the gallery that would be great, I think I agree with you on the bypass route I was thinking having a valve that would allow me to turn them on and off, on for the dolly alone and off with a tagged trailer. I am hoping to get this done...

    Making a Dolly Converter

    OK I won the M200A1 and now am looking for a fifth wheel since M 818's went to one selfish dude who won all of the ones in PA I am going the cheap but doable route and have a source for a used fifth wheel for about $250.00 is that the going rate or do any of you know where a servicable one can...

    Making a Dolly Converter

    Does anyone think a dolly converter could be made out of a generator trailer with dual wheel axles? I am thinking of that line welding up the rails and mounting an older civilian fifth wheel to it. I know we used the M354 two axle ones in Desert Storm since we did not have enough tractors in...
