In Reply to: Make a FlatFender stepside bed into a dump bed? posted by EdC on Tuesday, December 18, 2001 at 2:30PM :
EdC, Joe Cimoch passed on the photo of this beauty to me a few months back. He says that its owned by a Ron Sawyer in VT whose name I've seen mentioned in the PWA. Cheyenne Dave is vaugely familiar with this truck. He says that it has a scissors type lift powered by a 12V electric motor, and that its lifting capability is usable, but somewhat limited. Cheyenne Dave's Flat-fender PW, "GUS" has a beefy PTO powered single cylinder hydraulic lift, but that's set up on a flat bed. I had thought about using my rear PTO for a standard bed conversion into a dump, but am now hooked on the idea of using the rear PTO for a rear winch located between the frame rails under the tailgate and am trying to design a rearmost replacement crossmember which will allow for this setup. I'd still like to have a dump around our place. I guess that means another truck!! Good luck, Bruce
