I finally got a hardtop for the bed of my truck.

I just got an M105a2 trailer with the sewing enclosure in it. I may have to change beds because my M105A3 bed is to narrow at the tail gate or extend it 7".I am not sure yet. Either way Bouncin Betty Knox is gonna have a hard top bed. This month makes six years I've owned her.

I'm confused, this is a trailer with a hard top, and posted in the Deuce modifications forum.

What am I missing?

I will have to look out for one of those trailers. That'd make a awesome work trailer!

OK guys I've started some mechanical drawings to install this box on to my bobber. I did not want to swap beds so I came up with this solution. I looked over TM10-3530-205-14 as well as the operators manual for the box dimensions. I had no luck finding the info I was after. I have the newer M105a3 bed so the dimensions are different as well as I have the fenders tubbed so I could flip my hubs. So here's the drawings. All input and help is welcome.

I went to Cocoa Beach to get the trailer yesterday and look at a car south of there as well. The trailer pulled like a dream the car on the other hand let's just say we enjoyed the view and came home with just an awesome trailer. Here are some pics of it and my daughter unloading tools from the truck. I now have to decide if I just want to swap beds which I'm leaning towards.

Interesting trailer! But having owned a few M105 trailers, I'm wondering how you access the side and rear openings of that hard top. Isn't it gonna be too high to reach? Or do you carry along a raised platform that you set up on the ground around the trailer?
