Gimpy flexing right side up.

I posted that pic mostly for its design. It's a M243 trailer of 2 ton capacity and was part of the fire control system for a missile unit. The trailer in pic #4 is a much larger, heavier design from the Nike systems. It's an XM261 that belongs to crazyplowboy on this site. The deck length if...

I'm not going to Findlay. I don't know the weight. It's in the 44410 zip code. Old tires under it can go with it for blocking.

"Off road capable" covers a very large area. Water crossings. Often requires a need for ground clearance. Would need loading ramps as a beavertail trailer would facilitate getting hung up. Built heavy enough to carry your load at the lightest weight possible. Tough to find ready made.

GM square body 4x4 Light Duty trucks were built with the front springs arched upward in the middle of the spring,(1973-1991).

I mounted 14.5's on this trailer last year. Works very well. When I get some time I will see how 395's fit.

Does it have 2 alternators?

I like my everyday driver. It is an easier decision to modify a truck when you have more than one truck.

The 12.50 XL's look great on this truck. I run 1100 XZL's on mine. I appreciate the the higher speed rating and their diameter help all my 1100 equipped trucks reach their 65mph limit on the freeways. Useful Michelin tire guide link. Army Military Tires

Easiest way for me is that I have the manuals for the duece downloaded into my deuce manuals file. Manuals for the 5 tons in another separate file. Another file for miscellaneous TM manuals. TM-9-2320-209-20P TM-9-2320-209-34P has clearer illustrations. Group 20.
