M416 Tub Dimensions?

[COUNTRYCOWBOYRANGER]

After much consideration, I have decided to scrap my truck bed plans for my trailer. Instead I am wanting to build a M416 trailer from scratch. I know there are dimensions on the internet for the tub, but it seems like everyone is different from each other. Could anyone that has a factory M416 tub give me some dimensions off theirs? I would really appreciate it!

Thanks,

Cody

Here you go:

Rather than building one from scratch, why not a Dinoot tub kit?

I have considered it but, this is a budget build, trying to stay under 1000$ if possible.

I've seen a few M416 replica builds in plywood that probably could come in under $1000.

here's a link I tuned my buddy on to who is building a overland trailer https://anchormtnoverland.com/products/overland-utility-trailer-diy-body?variant=36593000072
I wish I knew about this site before I bought my tub kit.

I think I can come in under 1000$ using a steel tub, I actually have the following laying around in my High school welding shop....and it'll barely cost me anything since I'm a student/enrolled in the class.
M416 Tub:
4 4' x 8' sheets of 14 gauge sheet metal (Sides)
1 4' x 8' sheet of 11 gauge diamond plate (Floor)
Frame: Still not sure what to use for the frame yet
50' 2" x 2" x 3/16" square tubing
10' 2" x 2" x1/4" square tubing
30' 3" x 3" x 3/16' square tubing
40' 3" x 3" x 1/4" square tubing
30' 2.5" x 2.5" x 3/16 square tubing
20' 2.5" x 2.5" x 1/4 square tubing

Plus we have so many more sizes of square tubing, round tubing, strap, channel, rod, rebar, angle, etc. laying around.

We also have a big enough Metal break so I can bend the 14 gauge sides, not to mention we also have a Plasma cutter, Hydraulic punch, Metal Shear, Multiple chop saws, Hydraulic tubing bender, about 10 Miller 252 mig welders, several Acetylene torches, about 10 Miller stick welders, Miller tig welder, 6' steel lathe, Several Drill presses, Milling machine, the list goes on.....

So Making this, should be pretty easy and relatively cheap.
