Well being a big bolt in the days when gas is approaching $3 a gallon, I did as well as one could expect.. $910 was the final bid from a fellow out of Okie. He sounds tickled to have won, and i'm just as tickled it's going to someone who appreciates old iron.
Hey, and I made a few bucks on the deal to boot!
I haven't ever paid real close attention to who made the various beds i've seen.. they all look pretty much the same to me, and all work nearly identical.. placement of the PTO lever and the actual lever used to engage the hydrolic pump being the only real differences i've noticed.
I personally prefer the side dump to a "traditional" back dump, but the new rig for the back of the '46 2 ton is designed dump either way.
Just move some pins, and move the cylinders and the bed will dump side or back.
It's not that I actually NEED a dump, mind you.. it's just neat.
