Sorry, I don't have any. What I did for mounting brackets was 3/8" plate 3x8" and drilled a hole to line up with an existing hole on the truck frame. Once the bed was in place, i bolted the plate to the truck and then welded the bracket to the bed rail with the bed already positioned.

I used the thick one.

@BigRig379 may have some suggestions. I'd do it in two easy days. Don't drive tired. If you're too tired to change a tire, you're too tired to drive. Brakes are the biggest worry. Check brake fluid at every stop. Here's how I'd do it - Check fluids and tires and inspect brakes for leaks...

Putting a cargo bed on a truck tractor generally requires a bit of fab work. The wheelbase isn't the same length between the cargo trucks and the truck tractors. Cutting the bed down to 12' works well if you remove the spare carrier and air lines and go right up to the cab.

Resolved. It's now running.

I thank you profusely!

I assume so. It's 400 miles away. I'm at the mercy of the pictures from the people there.

I've got a 10kW DC APU generator with a HATZ 26hp engine. I've jumped old chevys at the starter using a screwdriver, main positive post to secondary empty post. The partition around the main positive post on this one seems designed specifically to prevent that. Maybe there's a good reason for...

This is what I'm working with. Presumably I can move a couple of breakers from the upper position to a lower position and use an interlock like LITD linked. I'm obviously not an electrician, but I'm not clueless. I've wired in L14-50R welder access in the past, and I know enough to make sure...

I called you back.

That sounds like the ideal solution. I'll get a look at her panel and see what we're dealing with.

Plan every red light ahead of time. Slow while downshifting, hit every gear on the way down. You should already be in 2nd before you even need to hit the brakes. Some people when driving a manual, simply go to neutral and get on the brakes to stop - don't do this. Plan every stop as if you...

She probably has 200 amp service. But the MEP802 obviously can't run all of that. Her furnace and water heater are gas. She's concerned about running the lights, the refrigerator, the furnace, and whatever other trivialities can be supported by the 802. We're going to go through her breaker...

I'm looking for a plain Jane mechanical transfer switch to be used to connect a MEP802 to a house for use during power outages. The primary user would be a >70yo woman, when the power goes out. I figure someone here has one they like...

One on each hub would provide an additional means of traction control.

809series trucks do not have springbrakes and therefore they don't require caging.

I squashed a 6ton rated jackstand with an unloaded M200A1 weighing less than two tons. There was a slight slope involved, and I certainly didn't trust it or get under it, but i really didn't expect it to fold up. The irony is that this jackstand had previously been used successfully under my...

What I pictured is the MileMarker hydraulic winch. My understanding is that MileMarker makes the entire mounting kit available. My understanding is that the brackets and such for the electric winches are not compatible with these.

Which front winch set up? I can think of four different ones right off the bat, and there's probably a dozen....
