Thanx everyone for your interest and votes.
Please take time to look closely at the
link aft photo. Specifically how the cantelever link is attached to the bed/box.
I originally thought h3ll-yes! A FLATBED DUMP... 'til I started planing how to get the box off ... please correct me if I missed something...
The box platform would have to stay and the sides would have to be cut into pieces. (since the cross-rails are welded to the link). No big-deal but it would limit my options on the type of bed.
Having said all this, you probably know which way I would vote.
But please, vote away ... ( a hanging chad vote can be modified)
