I hope I'm not stating the obvious but don't forget about the fenders. I
don't know if the trailer you are referring to has the fenders on the
inside, but I made a trailer out of an old M105 years ago. I went to pick
up a trencher and discovered the trencher was about 2 inches wider than the
distance between the fenders. It was a ruff ride, but I managed to climb
over one of the fenders and haul it home.
Why don't you let me build you a frame to go under the body of my M105 I
have for sale and you will have a low profile army trailer that might be
wide enough? Just a thought. Joe.
