Finally found the loaded weight. Fyi its had more than that on it. Only once did it fail to dump. But it was way overloaded with crushed limestone. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

I boxed the bed rails right from the start. Haven't noticed any flex yet Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Yeah let's not even get started on that... not sure why I agreed to do it. Especially since me & the wife are well I dunno. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Oh yeah. Volume wise it was only about 3/4 full. Sent from my SM-G892A using Tapatalk

Hauled some sand to the in-laws yesterday. Finally had a chance to get it on the scales. 14.5 tons on that load. Had to crank the relief on the valve again. After that it dumped like a champ. Actually made the springs squat some. Pretty sure I'm right at the dot limit on weight Sent from my...

Its a 3 spool valve. One for the hoist, one for a rear remote for my dump trailers, and one for my snow plow i need to mount yet. Only put 2 cables on for now but its all set up to just run the cable. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Also for fun i set a protractor on it. Its about a 57 degree angle at full dump. Maybe a tad excessive but with that big hoist it has no trouble dumping a full load of sand. No scales for weight we have our own sand pit. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Did you see my magic clearance for the hoist? It couldnt have been much closer though. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

So its been awhile but there was a big push to get this project done so i didnt get to document it like i wanted. Heres my rear hinge and some work after. Im gonna try and get some pictures before i finish painting the bed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Well i was aiming for .025" to .030" but my lathe guy was off his game. Should have went for .050"

Small set back and no im moving forward again Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G890A using Tapatalk

Yeah the bed plate. I was in a hurry trying to post at work and not get yelled at for being on my phone.....�� im going to flip the bed just like jbulach did. Beauty of having to skid steers around. Some day ill get the old bantam crane running again. Ive toyed with a theory of...

Yes the lower hoist mount is built into the subframe to sit below the box rails. I do have to cut holes and weld a tube into the bed rails for the top mount. Im going to box the rails the full length of the bed first though. I have to remove two cross members from the bed and essentially box off...
