Thanks for the explanation. From just the photo, the M51A2 WW looks like a desirable truck. It having a hard life and some repair/modification makes sense now. I would surely bring the parts added to the 818 up to reconditioned standards, probably taking it all apart. I do like the...

NDT, that's what I thought after seeing the photo's...the M51A2 is really nice looking and good repair candidate.

Picture of my front and rear dump frame mounts (I don't think they are different on earlier models). Note the thickness of the spacer between the frame and bed frame. You may need the height but I'm not sure.

They are bolt on and just need removed. Google M818 and look at the images (just like my M931A2). If one has the machinery to take the dump bed off it's frame, during the change over may be a good time to rebuild select items, check for cracks in the frame/tank, etc.

The pivots (hinge) are part of the dump frame that mounts to the frame rails of the truck. Ramps do come off but the hinge and cylinders, tank and pump (and I think valve) are all part of the dump bed frame. No frame alterations are necessary.
