folding bumper "crane"
I'm not sure if this is brilliance on idiocy, but the hoist folds into the bumper:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arosHocOmy4 There's one for sale on Wastebook Marketplace, which is where I saw the thing. Not my listing, btw. I'm not selling anything https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...3531901635710/ By far the most interesting bumper I've seen ;-) |

Re: folding bumper "crane"
Guy at our church has one like that on his truck. He loves it. Mostly use to get deer into the truck or his pirogue in and out.

Re: folding bumper "crane"
I really like that.
That's A Lot better than the one I got. I have one of the Harbor Freight mini cranes in the back corner of the bed. Link: https://www.harborfreight.com/12-ton...ane-60732.html

Re: folding bumper "crane"
If I lived around there, I would just go over and get it. It looks like it has modifications and the lid has been turned into extra bumper top surface area. It seems like it would be possible to reverse that modification and get it going again. Looks very interesting to me.

Re: folding bumper "crane"
That is slicker than dog-snot.
I have the pieces/parts from Harbor Freight but never put them together like Getter-Done. I have a trailer made from an 8' Fleetside bed on a 3/4 ton axle that I intend on mounting it to. But it ain't electric -- and I'd never lower a living human with it. It would be great for picking up an engine block at a junkyard and getting it in the bed w/o screwing your back up.

Re: folding bumper "crane"
Thing weighs almost 400#. Does that seems like a lot to bolt on the end of a 1/2 Ton frame?

Re: folding bumper "crane"
Hmm, interesting. I guess that would slow down my "just go over and get it". Go over there with several friends and heave it into the truck... Still interesting and still room for 600lbs of payload. I would put it on the truck and rig up a pulley system in the garage to allow it to lift itself down onto moving dollies and mount it back up when I want. If I got tired of having it around, and it were fixed into working condition with a lid and I could make a demonstration video of it working on a C-10, I would bet it would not be hard to sell for a profit. It may be better suited for a longhorn or C-20 but may be useful for some C-10 applications.

Re: folding bumper "crane"
I lived in LA 50-something years ago, but that State has changed so much it's a Foreign Country now. Where's Sunol?

Re: folding bumper "crane"
OK. Nice country. I went to a wedding in Livermore about 23 years ago. Beautiful green rolling hills. Most unlike the Desert. The bride was the daughter of friends of my rider, a Tucson friend. I drove my '71 Jimmy, he kept me company. My purpose for going was a parts safari for rare K/5 parts. I got a Blazer windshield frame from a guy in Richmond and K/5 Hatch Latches and Relay Rods from a guy in Chinatown SF. Blazer/Jimmy parts were ''fished out'' in Southern Arizona even back then. Now, I'm more likely to find 67-72 Arizona Parts in a warehouse in NYC, than locally.
