Nice truck,Kent! I checked your website,and that "Knuckleboom Project" is makin' my mouth water! Now you got me thinking!! I wanted to lengthen the bed,to use my truck as a car hauler,(if necessary),but moving the bed back,like you did,would put the "tail" on the ground,without the use of ramps. I'll still need to lengthen the bed frame a few feet,but not as much as I was planning.There's an ancient Pettibone crane,out on the farm,BEGGING for some attention! We had it running about 10 years ago,(4-cylinder flathead Chrysler),(after a 25-year slumber,but with a P.T.O. driven pump,new seals and hoses,hydraulic reservoirs,and...$$$$!! DREAM-ON!!
