A kind of canoe/boat. They go in Hawaii.

That would be an attachment like a hook on a fork lift. Or legs that allows more support. A tow truck outrigger is its hook.
If its that Classic Parts thing, I think that is the floor brace.

here is one on a fire truck. It's used to help stabilize the truck.

Isn't a piece that extends off a ladder frame to support the floor or a body mount called an outrigger?

That looks like an extra frame piece to make it stronger.

I doubt you would need it.

Pretty sure thats just bed replacement pieces under the wood. Outriggers off the main frame..

its under cab floor parts

I'm thinking that is the piece that runs front to back above the frame, between the front cab mount and the rear cab mount. I don't know why it would be called an 'outrigger' though.

I called classic parts of America and they said the same thing you did. Does anyone have a picture of this piece on the truck?

I thought is was a dessert plate that you grabbed at a picnic to put extra potato salad on!

Goes from the front of the cowl to rear cab support?



Welds to this similar piece in front?

I've seen those also and wondered what they were. I thought it was part of the inner rocker for some reason.
