Anyone know of a single axle air force 5th wheel trailer?

[Hooty481]

There a guy that is telling me that he has a single axel air force trailer that's flatbed and hooks to a 5th wheel that he's wanting to sell. I have looked on the site and on the Internet but haven't found anything. Does anybody know of what he may be talking about?

I have seen these for sale at Aberdeen, they are a sort of trailer that enables a truck with a pintle hook to pull as a fifth wheel.

Are you talking about a trailer or a converter dolly ?

this is a picture of a converter dolly

There are the FHT and few other that I don't remember

Hello porksplace, and thats what I remember seeing at ABERDEEN...

 

[Hooty481]

No not a converter dolly. He said it was 28ft I do believe and was a flatbed.

Does it have any data plates ? They made a ton of single axle box trailers over the years so using the same platform to make a flatbed would be reasonable. I have not seen one though.

I have not seen the trailer yet and don't know if it has a data plate or not. I just thought someone may know what I was talking about.

Likely a M118 or M117.

Hooty- if you end up not wanting it, let me know! Sounds like a good find though! So I'm sure you'll be adding it to your motorpool

When he sends me pictures of it I'll post them on here so we won't be guessing anymore. It sounds alot like the m127a2c minus one axle. I don't know which would be better. If it is the m117/m118 would it pull behind my m915?
