Now for something really different

What is the truck going to be used for? If its for picking up parts or heavy items a mounted crane right there would be awesome.

Yes do this Gregg. And then prepare to get phone calls to borrow the truck.

I’m kind of liking the idea of a crane. My intent for the truck is heavy hauling and just all around work truck. May have to do some research, I’ve seen some military trucks with those cranes on them.

Oh and @Will Carter is still a bad influence!

I live close by in Snow Camp so I may be calling you too.
So definately get a crane.

Well I had to replace my fuel pump so I figured while the bed is off I’d paint the bed mount frame and touch up the frame itself. You can see the goose neck mount I came up with.

Here’s a before and after of my rust proofing and painting.

 

[Buffy]

Got everything back together yesterday. I think I picked up 15 hp by getting rid of the rust and putting on shiny paint.

Got my truck back from the paint shop today. Decided to two tone it. The bottom color is called brilliant black. When the sun hits it you can see metallic in it. Now for a trip to the bed liner place and install the topper on the box and this portion of the build is done!

So do we have a dump truck now?

 

[Buffy]

Why yes I do! It has a switch and go bed system. Got 3 different beds with it. A flat bed, dump bed, and 10 yard dumpster.
