Code name BART (Bad A** Recovery Truck)

[Another Ahab]

I can't tell if that 80-ton machine has the swing over the sidewalls:

- Do you know if that is a "rotator"?

When it's all said and done, I have a feeling that it'll be Ron 1 and tree firewood...

- Do you know if that is a "rotator"?

Yes it is. There are some operational pics on their web site. Haines Towing NJ.

 

[Another Ahab]

Seems like you'd want a WHOLE lot of reach on the outriggers for that sucker.

The fuel can holders/bed side board, BUT have a question ?? Which end of the holder assembly looks better ??




A -- a squared off end






B -- a diagonal cut end.

 

[JohnnyBM931A2]

My vote goes for squared off end

 

[Shark Bait]

Squared

 

[Another Ahab]

I'm split; neither looks bad:

- So I guess that adds a vote for squared, as it stands now.

Some more pictures on the way to the car wash and back to Barts hole, next pictures will be with the base coat of green and hopefully the "does not start" will be gone.
























Not sure if Bart makes the SEE look small OR the SEE makes Bart look huge

That's nice, and so excellent. That there is a rig!

You might already have mentioned it:

- But is that thing paying your bills?

Or is it all just for playing?

 

[Shark Bait]

Sweet!

Looking good,could you get me the angle that the side of the roof is and the angle of the front of the roof up by the visor. Need to know it for my crew cab.

Bart is not mine, wish it was, built for a client.

 

[joshuak]

Awesome job sir! That's definitely one BART.

 

[Another Ahab]

Bart is not mine, wish it was, built for a client.

I'm thinking that we're all of us on this thread thinking just like you:

- "Wish it were mine".

That sucker is some kind of super sweet, isn't it? Wow.

The roof side angle is 44 dig.
The front angle is 52 dig., I used the lower edge of the roof for my base with the angle up (55 dig), this is the 44 dig. side of the roof section that has a 55 deg angle up. in another words you would need to get the 44 dig. piece in place before you can get the 55 dig.

thanks that helps a lot I'm starting on my roof probably this next week

Hey, That Ladder Is The Wrong Color. Stands Out Like A Sore Thumb.

Seriously, great build, Love It.

John

The ladder will get green base coat then camoed to match the places where it mounts

Color fixed, notice the frame under the bed, "GREEN", you can not tell the old paint from the new, the base coat is done, trying to get a hold of Jon to order some brown and black, so far no luck, forgot his screen name, he was selling a truck load of one part carc, even I a NON PAINTER, a just almost a wanta be painter managed to get the stuff sprayed without runs.so if anybody can get ahold of Jon, PLEASE have him contract me.
