Well, "I" can see it anway.
Thanks for the info on the ofoto.com stuff, Tim.
I may not have a big 'ol Volvo Sow parked on the front lawn, but I feel just a step up from po'whitetrash now!
Pictures, by damn!
So my bro was giving me a bunch of crap about buying this old beater but he's all complimentary after he used it to build his shop. Only problem is the boom is built just for lifting pumps straight up, so it doesn't rotate and It would be a lot of work to make it do so...but it's still handy. Just used it the other day to install his chimney (section of log truck "reach").
The truck has too much weight in the bed/boom/stiff-legs, even without tools, so the prev. owner had a custom set of springs put on that help a lot. Winch up front is factory, but the bumper is a custom ho-made deal with braces that go in to guy-wire (sp?) the boom up if you're lifting a lot of weight.
Thinking about putting the bed/boom on my '57 FF (another mongrel) project, think it would handle the weight better, and I could put a regular pick-up box on this one.
