with the boom support legs down the crane is good for 20,000# without legs 10,000#. the manual spells this out. the legs can be used for lifting to the side or rear. there is no rotation with the legs down so you would have to lift it then back the trailer under. personally i would lift it...

to get around the plow width restrictions what i did was make two 9" extensions that slid into mounts on each end of the plow. i used 2" square tube and receiver like mounts on the plow. i had mounts further in on the plow to mount the extensions when not in use. that was on an f550 dump that...

Here's mine. when i started looking for a deuce i said a wrecker was next. finally won a bid on one and it's exactly what i wanted. now i have to get it home and see what all it needs.

It depends a lot on what your going to do with the truck. if you plan on hauling more than 8000 pounds stay away from stock front springs. the narrow spring placement and relatively soft springs make for a top heavy tippy feeling when loaded heavy. lightly loaded they are great and provide a...

The filter attachment can be seen in most of the tank pics. in the last pic a filter is on the tank fitting. Guppy, great job as usual. love your truck and work so far.

i installed the stock tubes until i can figure out what I'm doing for rims. almost 2000 miles and some heavy loads and no problems yet.

i know this was posted a long time ago but a lot of people are still interested. the Ford PN for this is DOHA-3304-E which translates to 1970, holman/moody hi point, truck, steering, pn304, rev E. any ford dealer should be able to find it.

with stock front springs 10,000 is the limit as far as brakes and springs go. that pic is with about 8,000 all one one side.

this is my truck on 395s

hows this for squat.

i contemplated that among other things but the weight savings and cheap price of stock duece springs was a winner for me.

i honestly haven't seen your posts lately for the same reason i hadn't seen this post until today. for the record i agree with the post that states he did very well with the sheet metal but the rest was marginal. i was a weldor before becoming an engineer and worked in ndt and weld failure...

Compression strength is a function of area and has nothing to do with shape. Before you ask my Eng degree is from the University of Texas.

there is still 8,000# on in that pic.
