. Watching now... You have one like on that video now :cool:

. Nice looking trailer. Have you got something to drag it around with when you get it to your place?

. Nice looking truck!!

. J-Rod It could be that Robin Strong is right on the money with his thoughts on taking something that big into the woods. OR You might drive 10 miles in on a little tiny path - then have to throw it in reverse and back up to where you started because you can't turn around. That might be a...

. Definitely need a crane to lift a crane - but maybe not. Long ago, when the dinosaurs roamed the earth, I worked for a place that rebuilt equipment. Often times the knuckle boom cranes might be removed. Sometimes to replace a broken or bent frame or to salvage whatever was useful when...

. Previous owner could have been looking for a shorter bed. There were long frame and short frame Deuces. He needed a shorter bed to fit the crane. Long beds bring a better price than a short 5-Ton. Would have also not needed to cut the bed. Some folks (me included) are not that kind of...

Doesn't matter if we can read it - if it has pictures :cool: Me personally, I think what you have is really cool!

. I felt like if somebody had been watching me watch that video - they would have thought I was a dog - with my head cocked off to the left :) No worries though. Saw that you have locking hubs on the front of your truck. As I understand it, those are mileage savers and will help on "wear and...

. Shouldn't matter if it is lifted. I just wonder if the bolts that come up into the transmission (generally half inch bolts, 3/4 inch socket) are loose too - or if maybe they were too tight when the transmission bolts were installed. Those (generally two) bolts should be pointed straight up...

. I have made EDITS with help from members here. Original info has been marked with "strike through text. Should be a 3/8 course bolt Metric M8x1.25x20mm flanged head cap bolt (Thanks Sharecropper , NDT , and cucvrus ). BE CAREFUL. Don't break that cast aluminum (pot-metal) A 3/8 inch...

. I had to go look... That 16v149 is a MONSTER! Wish they had a coke can in one of the piston holes - just to compare (Insert picture from EastCoastDiesel)

. Nicely written. Nicely worded And, the cold hard facts are in those two paragraphs above.

. Nice! Heck, that might be really nice to have. I'd like to see it for sure.

. Maybe eventually... What we do now is post the video to YouTube, then create a link here. General rule is to NOT post links - posting the image. Videos though are a "special" case for the time being. Having a video to look at would definitely be a plus!

. Wow! You even have the wooden pad to go under the outriggers to spread the weight if you are on soft ground or asphalt! (The pad with the white handle, Lower right). You should have a pair of those. Don't know for sure what shape it is in, but it appears that you have all the parts.

. It could be possible that the previous owner never got around to attaching the crane to the truck. There are some super-duty very long bolts that attach it to the frame. The outriggers (appear in the lower left corner of your first picture) will hang down toward the ground (like the Canadian...

. I can't speak about Boyce Equipment. Not good or bad - I just have had no experience to talk about. The hard part about these trucks is that they aren't race cars. You can pull your house off the foundation, but going fast just isn't what they do. I imagine some folks are just in...

. The bug sprayer bleeder is pretty good if you don't "cheap out" and introduce air. Your 5 can plan should have been enough if you kept the bleeder upright. When you adjusted the brake shoes, the cam at the bottom of the shoe need to also be free and rotated to .020 (from memory) More...

. Cool deal! Just would hate for somebody to say nothing... It would be pretty disappointing to say it nicely :)

. Looks really nice! Yep, the pup doesn't look so happy about not being able to go for a ride. Finally figured out my dog (about the same size as yours) is happy enough if I give him a plywood ramp to get in the truck. Took him a while to figure it out, but now he will willingly go for a...
