    Default are there any miitary trailer boxes used as a truck bed

    Title says it all. Looking for some pics with smaller military trailers boxes used as truck beds. Toyota or other common vehicles preferred. I had thought about building me a flat bed for my 1990 truck but I thought this look might be more functional and cooler looking.LOL

    The top one is the same basic shape as an M416. Just saying. It could be done.

    M101A2 box on a M1031 (after the SECM box was removed)

    Unless you go with the 1/4 ton trailers the Canadians used with their Iltis, or Korean vintage ones the US Army used with their jeeps the 3/4 ton trailers like the M101 series will be to big for midsize or small Toyota's.
