I will have normal hand tools and a complement of Milwaukee M12 and M18 cordless tools. I have a deuce clutch alignment tool for the endine swap. As far as the bed swap goes, I think Tom and I have everything for that. I also have a decent 12V compressor on board.

It would be nice to have someone narrate what is being done so others can learn

Robert there's also a complete tire swap.
I think a wrecker picking trucks up would be better than jacks if possible.

And I am bringing the engine oil for Andy's motor.

The wreckers are up to the guys that own them if all agree , I'll be there and turn wrenches with all , but has to be safe and everyone out of the way , but very doable .

And if you could I'll bring some 6x6 and if you can as well as nobody needs to be near a trucks ass or front end by cable alone , a little blocking and I say let's go for it

Ron, we are swapping beds between a contact maintenance truck and a cucv pickup. The contact bodies are peculiar to lift. Sped is bring 2 sling straps of sufficient length. Other than that, normal rigging stuff that we should have.

I assume SSGR14 stands for Steel Soldier Georgia Rally 2014?

This whole thread is like a big loop, and I'm on the outside looking in...

You are correct Jeremy. I changed the title so that it is consistent with the rest of the titles for the SSGR. ;-)

Ron,

Nothing really special for rigging. I pulled one off one of 2002ford's truck a few weeks ago. We just used 27 foot ratchet straps and my backhoe.
