tilting Flatbed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

doug72 · 06-19-2003, 09:53 AM

Ok, A while back I saw a flatbed posting here that showed a tilting flatbed. I found a stake bed for my longhorn and wanted to find the original post. I can't use the search function for some reason. Can anyone help me find that post? Does anyone know where I can find a electric/hydrolic tilt assembly? I an in the DFW area. I also need to find a disc brake conversion for a c20.

Thanks,

Doug

ive seen some for sale on ebay even new ones... most four wheeler mags have ads for em too or you could ask the dealer cause they do use them in the heavy chassis trucks when they make em into dumps

Check out the tv show Trucks websiite. Recently an airbag bed lift was installed on a truck. Capacity was a little low if I remember correctly, but still worth looking into.

not sure about the lift stuff. but a c20 disc setup? you talking full 4 wheel discs or just the fronts? If you want fronts you can use the 73+ stuff just gotta throw on new tie rods and balljoints to use with those spindles from what i know.

If you want rear discs what sorta rear end you got? the eaton and D60 deals use the same bracketry and such and there are a few places that sell the stuff. if you like PM me for more info
