Modified my M116A3 to make it more useful behing the F250. Powerwashed it, bedlined it, painted it black, put sides on it, changed the tires and wheels to civy 17 inches load range E, put an old duece tool box on the frame rails and made a tailgate. Cheapy marker lights make a nice accent. I even painted the e-brake handles caution yellow. Fun project. Could someone tell me the 12V light bulbs that fit these 24V light housings?

Looks good Steve. I use 1156 and 97 bulbs on mine. Gotta ask, what's the story with dual tongue jacks?

Kenny,
The wheeled one gets it in and out of the garage and I use the stock one to make sure it doesn't fall on the animals. It's there...might as well use it. I wanted to weld the wheel to stock jack, but it's damaged and moves no more! Hope things are going well for you. You still have your duece wrecker? That is a sweet truck!

Yup, still have the old war horse. Can't imagine life without a crane.
