    Start of my crane truck project

    Nice! I'm jealous. I'm sitting here thinking of all the things I could do with that setup right now... Did you cut and section the bed keeping the tailgate in the same spot or did you move the bed back? I saw your sling guide is still between the tandems but can't see the back of the bed.

    new guy wanting to build a do-all truck.

    It WAS a good crane. The controls are stuck. He cut the lines from the pump when he removed it from the truck instead of unscrewing them and he torched the U bolts holding it on. the lines are in bad shape and I wouldn't want to put pressure in them. I'm sure the pump is ruined cause the cut end...

    new guy wanting to build a do-all truck.

    I looked at the M927 and it is definately the most expensive of the bunch. It would eat into the crane budget significantly plus I would probably want a bigger crane for it since it was a bigger truck. Which is even more money. I did go look at a knuckle boom today that a guy used to build a...

    new guy wanting to build a do-all truck.

    Hey guys. So I've been shopping around and looked at several trucks. Both 2.5 and 5 ton models. Luckily there are a few around me. I haven't driven any yet but sat in a few. Here is what I want to do. I would like to have a knuckle boom behind the cab and convert the bed to dump. Also want a...

    Hydraulic Conversion of PTO Winch

    I read about the radiator clearance issues but as it was stated, the motor could be mounted to the frame rail or something I would think. Fabrication isn't a problem. I have a mill, lathe, welders, torch etc. Even sheet metal brake and shear so I could make about anything I need. I'm still in...

    Hydraulic Conversion of PTO Winch

    This is a great thread for info. I would think this would be a viable option for adding a winch to a non-winch truck as well. Less original parts to find/buy. As a bonus you have hydraulic power now for anything else you may want to use. I'm thinking maybe a service crane or something.

    Anybody able to haul 1 skid Ft Riley to Nashville, TN?

    It's on a skid but can be taken off the stand and put in the back of an SUV even. Trying to figure the shipping out before I go all out on bidding. Thanks in advance. I'm new and let me know if I'm out of line.

    Finally joined. Trying to figure out the GL process

    I'm in TN and had a M38 Jeep for a long time and have always had a love of MV's. I've never bought anything off of GL however and am trying to learn how to do that. Any links to threads would be appreciated. I've read about 3 pages deep in the GL section and still don't know. I'm really wanting...
