Well, the welder re-appeared last weekend after a 3 week trip in for repair. So got one of the supports for under the bed put together: Strangely, I don't have a picture of the other one. It was more complicated as it integrated the rear mudflat support angle iron. And none of them...

So, had to re-do the selector valve to make it look at bit neater. Need to weld the hose clamps on. And fab the extra bed support. But as with anything, my welder had an alternate idea: So instead of working on the truck, I get to learn how good Miller's warranty and customer service is...

Finally had a weekend to do a bit of work, and discovery that I'd mis-ordered some of the lines / fittings. Got the selector valve mounted, and most of the lines run. Just missing the one to the winch valve, and a fitting to connect the one from the pump.

Ok, got the crane out of the truck and on the ground. Then stood it up and bolted it to it's temporary home while hydraulic testing and painting happens. Of course the bonus hydraulic winch sprays oil out this little puppy constantly, so apparently I need to find it's manual and not just the...

Came upon a Hiab 026T loader crane for a decent price locally. Decided to take a bit of a risk on it, it had been a back yard find by a new home owner a few months ago, and he wanted it gone. Bit rusty in a few spots, so it's gonna need a paint job at least. Manual extension boom sections...
