Resurrection day! I was mistaken on the fiberglass hood...it is steel. Appears to be a 1996 model from the various tags. I'm going to list it today in the classifieds...hopefully!

It does have a fiberglass hood. And a soft top. Were you able to determine the mfg yr from the VIN number?

I've still got a few projects for the truck this summer so I'm not hot to sell was just hoping to get a feel for the market. The Tires are michelin 14.5R20 XL....not sure what those are in a metric size.

Still here! The hubs haven't been flipped and I'm not exactly sure what that mod accomplishes. Rebuild on trans was done 3 years ago. Not sure on "all the steels, etc" just know I spent a buttload. Believe it was a certified shop. But will need to investigate that further as my friendly local...

Considering putting mine up for sale but need to put some research into pricing it before placing an ad here. Would like to get an opinions on what its worth. 1993 M35A3 With Winch, less than 12,000 miles added a bed hoist tapped into winch hydraulic. CTIS works allison trans rebuilt...

Thanks! I did get a second valve assembly surplus from another member here that I don't need since I went with the diverter instead. Figured when I needed to winch, I got to get out to hook the cable anyway. Just flip the valve to winch.

Now some nitty gritty. I picked a used hoist. Don't know if I'd do that again. This one is a monster, It should pick up anything I throw in the bed. The cylinder at the rear hangs down below the top of the frame. To get enough clearance, I had to cut a notch in the cross member, nothing...

After a 6 month break to work outside, we finally got back to this project. Here are some pics: Scissor Hoist Diverter valve, hydraulic from winch control goes to hoist or winch. Controls in cab control either. side view of plumbing Rear hinges/ lowered bumpers.

Well if another valve or if you decide not to take this valve comes up let me know. I've got a hoist sitting on sawhorses and the hinges half made. Next rainy day.....

I'm in process of putting a dump hoist on my winch equipped deuce. I'd like to find another valve to stack up front to run the hoist, does anyone have a source for one? So far I have a used scissor hoist, blasted and painted. And the lower hinges for the bed pivot fabricated. Will post a how to...

Scissor hoist to dump the bed. Started removing bumper and pintle and sizing up the hinge points. Will post up pics when we get into it.

FOUND! a used scissor hoist today for $400. Now comes the fun! Will post pics when we git-r-done.

I'm looking for a used hoist for another couple of weeks, if that fails I'll get a new one. Thanks for the pump specs.

I'm contemplating tapping the winch hydraulic system to power a dump on my deuce. Thought I'd ask if anyone has checked the pressure of this system. It looks as though another air operated valve could be stacked next to the winch valve, does any on have one to sell or a lead on one?

Does anyone have an extra I could buy?
