Sweet! Another piece of military history lives! Ha! Fun Stuff indeed!
The first time you see that bed rise is something you will remember!
Say did you ever get all the info, model numbers and parts numbers and
etc etc for the axles, brakes, air bags, etc so we can hammer the manufacturer for...
Make sure you pull the bed latches AWAY from their cradles, there
is a little proximity switch that disables you from going BED UP unless
the latches are completely moved out of the way. I would follow those
proximity switch wires and look for a smashed wire too.
Try w/ the remote and w/o, and...
Guys are any of you well versed enough in Metal to tell me exactly
how to spec out the 4" T x 1.5" W x .xx Thick pieces of channel
that are used as deck crossmembers? I want to find that material
EXACTLY. It has a taper that starts at about an 1/8" or so and expands
all the way to web if I am...
I guess no one is interested...
Here is how to make your rear Red/White work lights work.
At the very rear of the trailer on the PASSENGER SIDE there is
a cluster of electrical connections tie wired up. Look and you
will see one FEMALE PLUG is not connected to anything.
Alls you have to do...
I figured out how to get the rear work lamps to work.
There neat, they are RED or WHITE LED's.
Tell ya what, I will reveal the secret if someone finds WHERE
to buy these light assemblies. The light assemblies themselves
are kinda fragile or maybe the flood got to them. Some worked
on the...
The latches that hold the deck down when driving have little sensors
in them wired to the controls. They disallow the bed to tilt up unless
the latches are OPEN. They do work on mine. If you think you see
a red light, on the deck latches at the top where the loop latches onto
I think that is the...
RE: 3 Light ID Bars
Looks like Truck-Lite has some hidden parts. These bars have anti-smash bars top and
bottom to help protect them from dirt when the trailer is tipped up.
The 12 Volt is an Aluminum bar part number 35740R 17” bar or 35741R 23” bar.
The 24 Volt is a 35749R at 17" , I think...
Has anyone installed a 3 Light ID Bar on the back like is required for
trucks and trailers over 80" wide, that these trailers do NOT have?
Has anyone installed a locking device for the almost $1000.00 spare tire yet?
I am working on both, the lights I want anti-smash protection. I am...
Paul I am thinking 1/2" thick at the very rear only w/ Alum the rest of the way.
I want the CAD files so I can just cut the chain locks into my deck piece. I am on'the fence about
making the CHIN LOCK slot area out of Aluminum too, but I have to screw it down if Aluminum
WAIT, are the 1.5' x...
I want to steel plate the rear 1/2" thick and cut in the standard recess'd key slots
one might find on a flatbed / rollback towtruck bed. I am having a hard time
finding the dimensions or preferably a CAD File for this reveal. Do any of
you guys know where to get this info? CAD files would be...
HA! OK great Paul and Thank U, a LOT of good info in that!
It's amazing how different people see different things. I only
ever suspected the rims as Aluminum. You can probably pull
a wheel, de-tire it and bring it to a soda or media blaster to
remove the CARC. Not glass beads or sand, but...
