i would propably need bogie / lazy axle ok , prime mover , just mount on chassis or flat bed , bogie tilt tray would be ideal but be outa my price range , but i would be dreaming if some one would loan me one for show weekends , will get some good advertising with that eng on the back of your truck , its 10 ton , afew hits of throttle smokes out a couple acres in a few secs , eng came out of Attack class patrol boat HMAS AWARE built in Brisbane by Evans Deakin 1968

At 3.2 high, you might be looking for a dropdeck too?

4.3 metre
Can go to 4.6 as an oversize item, but may be frowned upon as it 'can' be carried on a lower deck height unit.
Yes average chassis height, about a metre, finished tray height being around 1200 - 1250..
Depending on breed and tray construction
hope that helps

Chocs idea of a drop deck or a old single axle float would solve the height problem,on a normal height truck the torque reaction when on and of throttle may need props,and a single axle prime mover on club plates later on, as a enthusiast may be willing to tow for you,
some things to think on.

I saw an old home-made single axle float the other day with a very short deck. I will ask about it next time I go by. Not much good to you without air brakes and probably not cost effective to change from vacuum if that is what it is now.
It seems to be the best way. You can mount the engine permanently and properly, set up your signs and fuel tank and can tow it with any prime mover old or modern. You might even be able to find an old dolly so you can flat tow it with almost anything of suitable size.

Just out of curiosity how long do you run it at a show and how much fuel do you need to run it
