The cab is an extra long extended cab to provide room for my junk, and so I can drive it.
The boom turns with a hand crank but could be converted to hydraulic.
If you have any other questions feel free to ask.

i'm guessing the cylinders under the bed are for a dump setup?

Also, I like how you raised the ground clearance by reloing the battery, tool box, gas tank...

You have any close up pics of cab mod?
Nice truck

Whats with the prison van windows? Otherwise I like it.

The cylinder under the bed is for the rear steering. The picture shows 2 cylinders, but that was over kill so I removed the back one. I didn't want any lines hanging down to get pulled loose. These are the only pics I could find of the cab during construction. After this stage, we cut the back of the old cab off and built the bracing to the door frames and windshield. The prison bars are kind of my look, the headache rack on my dodge pickup is the same.

What do you use the truck for mostly?

I like the 6-71 blower in one of the pics. Looks like you do some diesel work also.

 

[menofiron]

The truck is mostly a toy. We have hauled a couple of tractors with it. We do mostly farm repair. The blower in the picture is off of a Walinga grain vac.

Menofiron,
What's the deal on the passenger side step? What raises & lowers it?
How much dose that big boy muffler quit up your deuce?
Nice mods, cool ideas, nice truck.

 

[menofiron]

Both steps are raised by a 12volt hydraulic pump. It's a pump for a pickup snow plow, the steps are power up gravity down. The muffler doesn't realy help much in the cab, but I think most of the noise in the cab is from the gear train. It isn't to noisy untill you get up to highway speed. I mainly used it because I got it cheap.

Thats gnarly. Pics of the inside?

 

[Marines42]

I like the overall look of it. Some paint and it would look terrific.

 

[menofiron]
