Larry -
I think you are dreaming in re-runs. Many years ago, someone on the forum saw a story of a TM mounted on the back of a BIG military flatbed transport vehicle. There was a long and detailed feature story about it - which I cannot find now. Best I can do on a short Google search is shown on the first two attached snippets from Pinterest.
As I recall, the TM's front A-frame was cut off, the axle was removed, and the frame of the TM fastened down onto the flatbed. The TM was painted olive drab to match the truck. A lot of back country stuff was added to the rig, of course - a big generator, huge air conditioner, big propane tanks, big water tanks, a drop-leaf walkway just outside the door, ladders to go directly from the ground into the TM door, maybe a howitzer or two ...
Do any of you old-timers (there are so few of us left!) remember this discussion? I can't find it at the moment on the forum. There were a lot of really nice photos in the original presentation, which I can't find either, but the first two snips show it clearly.
The third snip is something I ran across during the search. Looks like a TM Mini, on a smaller truck. Not nearly as exciting or brutish.
