Real nice job on the restore. The Goverment will love you when they come back for it.

Pneumatic controls for the rear winch, still need to mount the air cylinders and plumb it up


Rear winch fairlead and cable, I wanted the cable under the bed, for looks and a little more safety.

Thanks!! That would be a sad day for sure, I'll burry it or burn it before I'd give it back, LOL.

quality work. Why not use the rear winch to pull stuff into the bed (cable above the bed, not under)?

Good spot for the controls, gives the operator protection in case the line breaks.

Thanks. Eventually I'm going to make a set of jin poles so I can lift and move heavy stuff. This truck is so tall and the bed doesn't have much room with the winch poking through, I just don't see the need to put anything in the bed.

Looks mint, Ive been waiting to see these pics! haha. I'm curious about specifically what those seats are out of. I did some searching but couldn't find exactly what yours look to be.

again, very nice build!

Thanks. I was told the seats are out of an mrap. I have no clue. I 'll see if I can find more info on them.

So you have full hydro steering? How's it handle? And where did you get the boot guards from?

Yes to full hydro. It drives great, I've put about 1000 miles on the truck with the steering. The only problem is i have the wrong orbital valve (new used for super cheap). Only 2 turns lock to lock, so it's super sensitive on the street, and it's stressing the pump at slow speeds. So I've got to change it eventually, 3.5-4 turns is ideal.
Not sure where the boot guards came from, I bought them a couple years ago, I'll find out.

I realy took a close look at all the good mods. I like the bed and rear winch set up.

 

[peashooter]

FANTASTIC Job! Very neat mods and great looking work!

Is full hydro street legal?

We've never found literature that says it is illegal, state to state may be different

Boot guards are from redbarncustoms.net in the 2.5 ton boots and seals section. $175 for a pair
