Has anybody modified a M1082 or similar military trailer to a dump trailer ?

I havnt but its not a big deal to do . My buddy has done it to 2 14 ft bed IH trucks with the sissor lift he mounts down in the truck main frame and uses a long solid shaft hinge pin and bushing welded into the rear end and he uses a 12 volt hydraulic pump and it all works great ! As long as you can weld it might get expensive to hire out but you could have hinge plates cut out that you could bolt in on both frame and bed with the solid long shaft and bolt your sissor lft into placehttps://www.googleadservices.com/pa...M6A7pX_AhUUlWoFHR5PCGkQ9aACKAB6BAgDEBU&adurl=
