welcome to steel soldiers! Switching tops is a straightforward deal. getting the top shipped would be the hardest part in my opinion.

what does "CCC" stand for?

craiglist listing is gone... what was it?

Another round of hoses is complete. I forgot to post a couple of steps..... after the hose burst in May I had the six main lines replaced and the swivels that attach to them rebuilt. At which point I had issues with my fuel cutoff. After I took care of the fuel cutoff (thanks again Bjorn) I...

At full hydraulic extension the hook height should be about 30 feet (need to measure). I have not put together a hook mount for the manual extension yet, but it should add 5' to the total.

as a side note I apply ospo with a spray bottle (like used for houshold cleaners)

I use ospho, followed by rustoleum rusty metal, then paint depending on oh you use it the ospho may scale or leave a chalky surface. I use a wire brush then a dry cloth to remove it prior to primer scotchbrite pads would work too.

mine came from northern tool. I used sand that came in bags at a local builder's supply. (I don't recall if it was "special" I just asked for sand and used what they had

I have one of the sand blaster pressure washer deals and like it, but I would be very hesitant to use it on an assembled truck. it works pretty well, but makes a huge mess. unless you have access to every surface of whatever you are working on you will end up leaving some wet sand stuck to the...

I'm not sure, call grove (717) 597-8121 from my limited experience it is best to be seated when asking for parts prices from crane manufacturers.
