oh am not ignoring that at all. Schemes exist in my brain bucket.... they are just not vetted much yet. Am I correct there is four roof canvas and eight wall sections?
🤠 😱 :sick: 🤯
Think have a plan after got mind blown. If it makes sense to you... pick it apart for pit falls, Thanks in advance.
put cherry picker on roof of Truck box with its end of lift arm as close to fore/aft center of 10'ft boxes top as possible. Actually just forward of that to...
litte Math-en says no. cheery picker wont work on roof op... unless one disassembles it after building a section.. so can drive underneath header /cross beam, ot move truck box forward to center-ish area of the net section to construct.... then reassemble it for build of next section. which...
send me the 1k to do that and I'll be all over it.
one crane hack idea/ is a cherry picker on top of a my truck. View it in your mind as box truck with cherry picker on roof. Something am considering. Beating my head brainstorming that right now. think I need two .cherry pickers.. Have only got...
BTW.- just a clarification... will one, two, or ?? of the structure/framing stand by itself with no guy wires? Stable enough to add on section at a time?? (no cloth/tarp yet) or would you HAVE to rope it down good for just the structure/frame too stand on its own?
good points... Have to brainstorm more on ceiling.
For sides.... wonder if would work better to attatch bottom...and fold it zig zag...atop that. That way as hoist it up along the sides.....not actually lifting full weight of the whole thing. (still a section..... maybe two at a time).
sir..... still worry about taptalk links as a way to get images into post... hope you upload any of them into here that are still on their server.
Say that cause 100% of all pic hosting services switched to EXTORSION business model. (demand you pay yearly fee or loose every picture you have...
with frame fully assembled..... is it..... itself strong enough to hang pulley(s) from to hoist a roof tarp section from peak ends of each section..
Similar question .... pulleys @12ft eve on sides to pull up a wall section?
while it holds the tarps when assembled... that weight is spread...
Similar to this method is what am planning for whole construction .... but instead not from a Tractor bucket.. build each section from roof of a LMTV's Hard Cargo Box and install/hang legs like you did off each side. ...
then jack that section up / tuck legs into place..till its free...
If anyone is in Southern OH or surrounding area... Am putting up one now....
By myself.. no crane
one LMTV with Hard Cargo Cover to stand on and some big ass Jack stands that will put on its roof to assemble one section at a time.
Wish me luck.
PS- got some motorcycles, part(s) car diesel...
I wonder if it would not just be better to have a 4x4 fab (or a Fab welder) just make you a new tie rods with more modern and available ends. Places like
Barnes may have or can lead you to joints.
not having memorized your setup...... wear on front may be because you have lot more weight on front.. (engine). Definitely case if you have nothing on the back but chassis and bed. Thats not a lot over the rear axle realistically.
this looks amazing.. love the vent in back side of the cab.... and the door latch/handle is shiat loads better than what ended up with. Not sure that is a steyr cab or not... you got any more pics of that cab posted anywhere? Interestingline that rear drive shaft does not look to have that...
