one of the rams has a leak and the hoses look sketchy.
I am converting the truck to carry a wood fired oven for catering.

I have about a half a dozen of them laying around and have no use for them. I would bolt it in place. Welds crack when they flex and the 6400 frame flexes a lot. | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,877 . | | .

Then bolt on the remaining bed, or whatever you have to replace it. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 8 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Sep 2017 Posts: 8 |
