Because of the way the factory sides were made, the bed floor is wider than the tail board of the wrecker bed. I will slice that extra material off so that I can flush up the bedside. You also get an idea how much bedside will be lopped off. The top rail will be modified to decend at a 45 degree...

Welcome aboard from south of the border. Stow your gear and grab a bunk.

If history is any type of an indicator then despite what the -10 says, the 101 will be OK. I can think of at least a dozen folks that have covered a ton of miles with that combo without incident. And yes, I'm familiar with the pintle mounting, I have one.

The M101A2 is also a decent candidate and it has an 8' bed which is handy.

Wow Howard, the V12 Pete is wicked cool.

No worries, that's what we are here for.

I found this link at the bottom of the page! http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?135513-Good-Charger-for-Dead-Hawker-batteries

The bed is wider for sure. The inner fender has been removed. I'm not sure if I will use them or cut the lip off a deuce fender. Much fab work to do before the effect of the bed will be visible. I'd like to keep the sides as narrow as possible but still enough to just cover the tires.

No, I'm going to trim the outside edge of both sides. Saves me from having to remount all the wrecker equipment and subframe. The rain never did subside yesterday to get the pics. I won't be home in the daylight hours until Wed now. Work is such an inconvenience.

Could be a short in there........between the drivers seat and steering wheel.

If a non attendee were to commit to those 5 cans of tan, could they be handed off to someone to put in my pile at Beefco Midwest or the Richmond Dr annex?

That pick kit looked handy, ordered one.

Cutting width off the wrecker bed is the plan. Should be a 30 minute ordeal.

I'll get a couple of pics in the AM of different angles. Narrowing the bed floor just a bit saves hours of fabwork. Also, from the front, the bed appears too wide.

Mocking up bedsides. The back will need to be chopped off and reworked. the side of the bed floor will have to be narrowed 2" per side. I think it will look good when complete.

Since the trailer is the topic of the thread, why not give us some details on the trailer. Hard to figure what you need when the only thing on earth we know about it is the tire size. It would be.much more helpful to post a pic of the trailer.

What kind of info are you seeking? They are black, heavy and make shifting the transfer case a little harder.

I agree but it greatly simplifies the common effect. Perhaps a better example would be to kick your leg in WD40 vs gear oil.

And the blown injected big block swaps. Maybe the bobber crowd can do a 6x6 conversion.
