Update on this project: I have now been paid in full by MidnightDuramax for the crane I sold to him in return for delivery of my other two. Now I hope to get my license plates shortly so I can load the cranes up in the back of the deuce and take them to the car-wash. I need to clean off 15...

Update: Eric has been in touch with me and we have made payment arrangements. This weekend I stenciled the truck, so I am ready to submit for title paperwork. The truck will basically sit while the budget recovers for a set of Jatonka's spin on oil filters. I have made my own in the past...

I always put a chain or three through the rime to contain the split ring in the worst case. Or else use a tire cage.

Gave Jungle Driveline a call and they couldn't make me a set without knowing full dimensions, or having the name they were ordered under. I'm trying to capitalize on your work as I can see rust on mine. Care to define dirt cheap and/or provide the necessary dimensions?

Are you going to re-sew the top, or replace? I resewed mine with heavy duty fiber fishing line. It was even green.

More painting today. Wheels and troop seats. I wanted black wheels, Wife wanted green wheels. With the solid green paint, I think it will look better with green wheels. If I camo it, I can always swap the inner duals out and paint them black. Need one more coat before dark. Letting the...

You have a PM. If you responded to phone calls and texts, it would not have been posted in this forum.

Made more progress yesterday and today. Got the rust holes patched. I think the passenger door is shot long term, but I have a lead on a replacement. Primered some spots where I had bare metal, then masked and painted today. I went with Valspar Duramax paint. I grabbed a bunch of paint...

Could you just unstrap the entire fuel tanks and lift off with a forklift? That way each one has the fuel pump inside, or are the 5 Tons different in this regard?

Used to love Pillsbury Crossing when I was at K-state. I took the 69 deuce in my sig out there a few times. Also had a VW Baja bug and used to try climbing the embankments where the water turns. The attached photos were from a trip I took from Ames,IA to Manhattan on motorcycle in '05...

Ah, that is the beauty of the cranes I bought. Self contained, complete with battery and gas motor to drive the hydraulics. Thus, all I would have to do is unbolt the crane and drive away. However.... I don't have powered outriggers, but I am thinking of using semi trailer jacks on each side.

Well, I bought a few days ago and picked it up today. I put the rust filter on the camera, so these pictures look pretty good, but it does have a few rust spots. I have today and tomorrow off, weather looks good over the weekend, so I am just crazy enough to think I can get the rust filled...

Found this leading up to it: http://www.steelsoldiers.com/military-vehicle-road-trips/5518-plans-california-trip-works.html Haven't found what happened next!

I'm going to be travelling on I70 through PA on Dec 24, headed to Des Moines Iowa. Looks like I could swing north and pick it up. Could he load me on Saturday, Christmas Eve? I will be in a rental pickup, so need a way to load/unload.

Look for a "torque multiplier" 3/4" is not overkill if you are doing hub and wheel work. Definitely heavy jack stands and a jack, though a bottle jack and assortment of 4x4 lumber will work in a pinch. A press may be used occasionally, but you may be able to get by with a socket collection...

Um... It is Camo! 2cents

Well, I have two of the cranes are now sitting safely behind my garage. MidnightDuramax received the load and and delivered them from Newark for me. Background: I had found a commercial transporter willing to haul all three cranes for $400 when Midninghtduramax PM’d me offering cash and...

Mcmaster carr has a large variety, of these, and everything else.

These cranes, that I can tell, are mounted solid to the bed. I am planning on mounting it solid to the frame.
