I found this information on a surplus equipment website, but I think it is the right information.

MB-1 TRAILER CHASSIS, 1 TON CAPACITY, DIMENSIONS 105” X 66” X20”

I’m pretty sure (although not positive) that this is the correct measurements of the trailer. As I remember it the original soft hose FSK’s weighed about 1,000 lbs. and were about 5’ long and 4’ wide and fit completely on the trailer. The hard hose FSK’s were a little heavier, around 1,250 lbs. and were about 9’ long (108”) and about 4 ½ ‘ wide and as I remember it the skids hung over the ends slightly so this sure sounds like it would be the correct measurement for the trailer.
