Those look like 12 ton S&P (stake and post) trailers used to carry cargo, not armored vehicles. I'm not sure they could take the weight of an M113 series vehicle (listed at 11 tons). I don't think the floor boards on the bed were designed to have tracks driven on the. Transport floor beds often used a very hard type of wood (Purple Heart wood comes to mind).

The sides would be stored where you have them, using a ratchet strap to keep them in place.

Juergen,
Was looking at some of your other pics. Great jobs on the tool/box trailer. What did you use as the base element on the build of that trailer.
