The deference appears to be one inch taller. Can this be adapted to use on a small bolt? -RT1 My VTX Mary Kay The 54 Mary Kays Evil Twin IBA Member 1of38

The vertical mounting bars for 1/2-1 ton trucks are the same height. The vertical bars for the 1 1/2 and 2 ton trucks are taller. ~Ron ~Ron http://s745.photobucket.com/user/rm...mp;_suid=1381799777706027221702202259296 1953 Chevy series 6400 / Gallery If you're not bleedin, you're not workin'
