folding lift gate

[Barneyszoo]

Anyone put a under bed folding lift gate on a 5 ton troop bed or duece bed?

OPCOM has done it.

It was a box, not a cargo bed, but the concept and most of the details should be the same.

That is a long thread, but there are pics of the lift gate and a lot of details.

I bought a Deuce from GL that already had one installed.

I had an M35 with a lift gate once, it was real handy.

dc3coyote had one on a deuce, at the Fl rally '09. there are pics of it in my pic album lifting his pinz off the ground to
repair a bent tie rod, and also using it as a hydraulic press to straighten afore mentioned tie rod.

You know he still hasn't replaced that "straightened" tie rod? Last I heard he left it the way it was after the field repair.

Here is a picture of the tailgate.

That tail gate did a good job straightening it out. I was loooking at the rod and looking at the gate and said to my buddy Kirk there has to be a way, so he is the one holding it between the gate and floor bed and dc3 operating the gate.
