I found a picture of a drop deck lowboy trailer used by the U.S. Army in or shortly after the Korean war that I've never seen before. I found more pics of it at the Tanxheaven website:

What trailer is this? is there an M number assigned to this or was it just an off-the-self purchase much like construction equipment.

Hi Mike! Hi Folks!

Sorry, don't know the M-number for that rig. Back when I was in the 4th and 5th grades (1958-1959) I remember seeing that type of trailier in my Dad's unit at Camp Walters Texas. He was in a heavy construction engineer battalion and they used that type of trailer to move bulldozers and other tracked engineer equipment. If I remember right, most of the time the tow vehicle was a dump truck.

Some of my very old history.

I think it was an off-the shelf purchase for an engineer unit. I have been through the ordnance catalogues for the 40s 50s & 60s and there is no sign of it. I have images of about 20 other trailer types that never appeared in these either so its not uncommon.

Cool
