Looking for advice on a few things:
The first thing is my truck is a retired pump and the bed was removed and a flat bed grain box was added at some point. I would like to add a hoist to make it a dump. The transmission has a pto on it as well as the controls. Should I try to locate an old hoist or should I just bite the bullet and buy a new setup? I'm trying to have a reliable truck that can be used in the summer to haul anything without breaking the bank.
Second debacle is the old wiring on the truck. All of the lights and sirens are still all hooked up through a control box. The truck has a 7 volt alternator and has a huge voltage regulator box with all the wires leading to it. I was hoping to eliminate the miles of wire and put a regular truck harness in it and get rid of the dual 6 volt battery setup and control box. Part of me wants to start fresh with new wiring and then the other part of me says keep it and deal with the erratic starting. Will a 1/2ton wiring harness work? Thanks for reading my rambles.
Matthew
