:? Freudian slip :shock:

The brackets, are only used to set the push bar on, to extend the boob extension. once extended, you pin the extension with 2 large(about 2" pins) though the side of the boom. Then the push bar is unneeded. To collapse, you unpin the 2 pins and use the hoist cable to pull the extension back...

The push bar is stored loose on the bed, no particular storage place that I know of. If you look closely in pics 1 and 2, you can see each of the brackets(also shown in pic 4). It is just a piece of angleiron with the V up, and about 2 inches long.

I made up a 3 piece bar for the boom extension. (no pics). Post #14, pic 4, shows the boom extension push out tube. Yes, there are 2 positions at the bottom, for the boom supports.

Yes, the M-270, with a 49' deck. http://www.steelsoldiers.com/members-rides/24946-m819-m270.html

Here's a few pics of the M819 bed. Single boom lift cylinder. 5th wheel plate. Extra boom extension(manually operated). Gondola cab. It has a hydraulic rotary motor for the turn table (unlike the earlier M62) Same truck as the earlier M246 (gas engine), but has the Cummins NHC-250.
