Here is what I welded up to get my bobber on the road.
I did not want a trailer bed.
I wanted XM381A2 Bed with a twist.
That fit the bobber with 395 and look right to the eye.
Here is some photos.

Looks very cool! Great job!

Why the big space between the cab and bed? Making the cab longer? Installing a spare tire carrier?

OK, I have never seen that before, it is very neat. How come they never made any officially? Am I seeing that it was bobbed and singled, no duals? Interesting indeed, thank you.

Sorry for the hijack.;)

They did make them officially. They made 1. ;)

I guess the military figured if it needed a 4x4, the M37 at the time would suffice. Chopping at deuce down to most military guys is like neutering a dog, it is still useful, but it will no longer be 100%.

Very professional workmanship.

That stuff does spray awesome doesn't it - reminded me of Centauri paint years ago how nice it sprayed.
That would be a great addition to have a dump assembly onto it, easy to install as well.

keep the pics coming.
