Here's a link to the laminate flooring that I put in mah deuce. Would not recommend it. Doesn't seem to handle expansion/contraction very well when things have to sit on top of it. Buckles and shrinks. Probably going to end up replacing it with a large sheet of linoleum or something.

No, not much out here on the west coast. But wasn't something that I was really looking for either, it just popped-up and thought I'd grab it if I could get a good deal on it... I am concerned about the height, yes. Not looking like I'll be able to put the M109 box on top of this bed. Too tall...

Well what's the good word Gimp? Is this a good/bad idea to try to retrofit to an M35 chassis? Should be no big deal, right?

Was only wondering why 19.5's when we're generally looking for larger diameter wheel/tire combos. 22.5 seems like it would be the way to go, but guess trailers makes sense.

Thanks for the info. That's a bit heavier than I was hoping, and will probably end up building something a little smaller/lighter weight to fit under the M109 box. But thinking it might still be worth purchasing if it will fit the chassis without too much work. Will not be using my M109 as a...

Why? What tires would you want to run with those wheels?

(kinda thinking that I might want to purchase it even if I don't end up using is with the M109 box)

Can anybody confirm the original application for this flatbed (NSN says 5-ton?), and whether or not it will fit on the back of a deuce and a half? Says it's 14ft long, which is what's got me a little bit confused...

That's what this is, right? How much does a drop-side bed like this weigh? 1000lbs? Also wondering how much height it would add if I were to put the M109 box on top of it. Planning on adding something like camper jacks to the M109 box, and would like to have some kind of flatbed sandwiched...

About how much does one of those aluminum MRAP wheels with an adapter and run-flat and a tire weigh?

Thanks, but I didn't really have much of a choice. Would have been a lot easier if I'd wanted to run 395's, but options are pretty limited if you want to run smaller/narrower tires. If I hadn't already put in all that work and knew about those MRAP wheels, might have gone that route. Your...

Munchies is hooking me up with one and it's going in the M103A3 trailer that I'm turning into a mobile workshop / toybox and will be towing behind my M109 motorhome.

He bent a tierod. What's the big deal? Easy enough to fix.

Tubing and pipe are two entirely different types of material (pipe is primarily used for plumbing). You'd want to use tubing in this case, if you were going to make your own tierod. Was showing you the weld-in threaded inserts that PSC sells. They work with the stock tierod ends. Would allow you...

Those MRAP wheels look like the hot setup. Very cool that you don't have to modify the wheels. Makes the whole deal a lot easier.

Oh, and regarding tierods - they're hollow. Tubing. Not pipe. Either find a stock one or using tubing and welding-in threaded insert like these would probably be the cheapest/easiest/best way to go.

Man you guys are really hammering on Brad. Only met him once, but I must have hit him on a good day or three. He let me camp out on his property and hooked me up with a bunch of parts, all at great prices. Had a really good time hanging out with him and learning a bit more about all this old...

(drills easy)

Awesome. Looking forward to finding out about these things!

Yeah, I had to drill new locating holes. There are pictures in that link I posted.
