Mil. Trailer box as bed?

[Capt.Marion]

Seeing as there are plenty of surplus military trailers around, and not nearly so many M37 beds in good shape, could the box of one of the various trailers (M101, M105) be used to replace the bed on an M37? I'm just looking for alternatives to tracking down an M37 bed around here to replace/repair mine with.

I have seen an M101 trailer box used on an M715

Hmmm... I did some Googling, and a 101 box is about a perfect match dimension-wise for a stock M37 bed, so it'd be probably some fabrication for the mounts to get it to work...

Check out the movie "Uncommon Valor"! As I recall Blasterman was in the ditch watching the Pathet Lao moving the POWs back to camp and the commies had an M37 with an M101 bed! If memory serves correctly they later blew that truck up in the movie!
