Hey all,

The hydraulic pump for the dump bed on my 1950 Chevy 1.5 ton is pretty leaky:

But it does work. Any thoughts on the rebuildability of these things? Where is the fluid reservoir? Standard Hydraulic fluid or something else? Anyone know what kind of pump or dump bed this is?

A view from the top:

My plan is to make some sort of *very heavy* structure to prop the bed up so I can safely examine & fill everything...

Thanks for any thoughts...
