ur2 slo: Perhaps I have not made myself clear enough on what you have. Yours is a conversion hoist and does not use the lift arm [censored]'y that you mention above as not having. It shouldn't be there. Your cylinders attach to the body underframe longsills by means of an angle or perhaps a shaft passing through the top eyes of each cylinder.

I see a lot of wood on the body which leads me to believe it is a home-made arrangement. IF the longsills are heavy enough you can bolt a 2-3' steel plate on each side of the longsill to make a sandwich type upper bracket to attach the cylinders to. This needs to be done on each longsill obviously If you have the subframe and lower cylinder attaching points then the top will locate itself between the longsills and the crossmembers. Best bet is for a solid steel understructure but oak or a similar hardwood could be used for light duty situations.

Find yourself a good truck equipment shop on the islands and go see him if your still unsure. :rolleyes:
