    Wrecker Bed (A Good Laugh.)

    I was kinda being closed lipped about it until it was nearly done. As slow as I work it may take years. Cab/chassis rear swap went well. I installed the Detroit NoSpin and brand new backing plates and brakes from Hillbilly Wizard. Everything fit like a glove. I have the dually front rotors in...

    I like it too. Loved the fabricated look so much I had it powdercoated clear.Those are the bolts that shipped with the cover but I want something else. Shiny bolts aren't going to cut it. Heck, still debating what to do with the front studs. I put all new ones in the dually rotors and they have...

    Speaking of cab/chassis rear ends, I got to clean it up a bit today. It's amazing how much the tubes get eaten away by the ubolt design coupled with the Ohio winters. Luckily the tubes on 14 bolts are quite thick. Got this cleaned up a bit before install. Backing plates are being replaced...

    Truck is certainly a CUCV with the locker. When I got the wrecker bed I purchased a cab/chassis rear end (narrow dually). This is going in the truck before the wrecker bed gets installed. I have the correct front hubs for the dually rims as well.

    Another tiny victory today. Sawed off the ubolts to remove the springs from the chassis cab rear end I bought with the wrecker. Confirmed that it has 4.56 gears and even better, an open carrier. Will slide the Detroit NoSpin in there before the install.

    That was quite a hoot. Never underestimate the resourcefulness of a few determined off roaders with a winch and a stout tree.

    Life is good. I'm here in the mountains of N GA and still getting stuff delivered. ChevyC60 went by my house yesterday and dropped off the CUCV that will be getting the wrecker bex. Too cool. Thanks so much Roy.

    I have noticed something related to pics of this wrecker bed. Almost every pic of this bed is of the bad side. Just sayin.

    Yes you did. I would eat microwaved steaks to get a piece of that pecan pie.

    Thanks to all who support my lunacy. Boiled steaks are on me this year.

    Stand down troops. Stonepicker1 is planning a spring trip and will grab the body. Thanks to all for a concerted effort.

    Let me try to absorb my options here on this one Doug. I can,t make the run up but maybe I can find a stash point nearby. I know ChevyC60 is contemplating a run up th te Morgans in Macon but I've already cashed a favor to him, he is fetching my M1008.

    Optimism I like to hear. I wish brakes to bend 11ga weren't so expensive. Thanks!

    Hmm, mini tater. If I'm forced to scrap the body, maybe. Great idea.
