    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Howdy CPDOG, That is exactly what I have in mind including the ramp along side of the passenger side of the truck! The passenger side door ramp (providing dog access to the cab) may be removable. Thanks for your thoughts. Tom

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Howdy, exssdru, I'm working on the cab gangway first as it will only be 6-7 steps and I then I will build the 12 foot version for the back. I'm planning on building both sets of steps with a 6" riser to aid my Golden and me getting up and down! Here is the current design I'm trying to...

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Howdy exssdru, I am not an expert by any means and this mounting design is just my idea based on a desire to reduce stress to the box. I wanted to make sure that my box was not fighting the bed/frame flexing. So far I have had no problems as you can seen in the pictures above I am getting...

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Howdy CPDOG, For our summer trips the trailer can also carry gas, extra water and supplies to extend our desert travel. Yup I'll post the design specs and pictures once I have built tailgate stops and know they will work. tom n tyler

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Howdy CPDOG, It looks like you have no problem with willing travel companions ;-) First I'm going to build the small stairs for the passenger side of the cab to see if my design adaptation will work. If everything works out I'll tackle the longer set. It looks like I will need to have as...

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Wow your cab interior is so nice! I'm afraid that my truck interior is still decorated in a patina of quality military rust... My Golden weighs in at a svelte 90 pounds and to lift him five feet is a little taxing on both of us! So I'm also planning on building a folding ramp/stair system...

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Howdy CPDOG, I really like your stairs! I have been working on a ramp/stair design where the ramp will parallel the truck bed and connect to the tailgate when it is down in it's level to the bed position (making a small deck). I am working on this design because I need a pretty long ramp for...

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    The box has been mounted and tested. Howdy, I have finished mounting the Craig box on to my 923-a2 and the setup has had limited off-road testing to-date. The spring setup has articulated as I hoped so I will be doing more on and off-road testing. My mounting philosophy was to reduce stress...

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Hi Karl, I am working on the mounting system now and I will provide a detailed description and pictures in a few weeks when it is done. Here are my thoughts so far... For the front mounts there will be two pieces of 3x3x3/8"(?) right angle steel bolted to the front of the bed at the width of...

    Mounting a Craig box on a 923-a2

    Howdy, This is a slow project that I will update as significant milestones are met. I am mounting a Air Force Craig box (rough external dimensions are 8'w x 12'l x 87"h) on the bed of my 923-a2 as the base for a camper suitable for the South Western United States. Yes it is tall at...
