Yep still going strong but does need some attention to be daily dependable. We drove it over to a quarry weigh scale last Friday and got it weighed empty.
Right at 5,000 lbs. so the wheels I picked out rated at 3,640 each should handle it ok. They all had a smile on their face when we showed up, even the guys
in the big modern dumpers were grinning. The scale house charged us $10 and it was a thrill getting there and back home on the not so round tires.

I know that when dad bought the truck it had the original wood bed and sides which he painted once, but then ultimately replaced the bed with this hydraulic unit.

I need to work on the hydraulics some to get it working again. My wife wants us to drive it to one of the drive-in movies so we can park in the back and raise
the bed up a little then relax and watch the movies. Or fall asleep as I often did at the drive-in...
