Re: Square Bodies Working Thread ?

87 V10 I made a custom bed made out of 1/8x1.5 square and it has a 72 in cab tank. I use it mainly for auctions with the expanded #9 metal allowing me to hook anywhere. The bed has a heavy headache rack made from .25x 1x5 square that then has 1"grate webbing which the cab sits inside protecting the tank in the event of a roll or side impact. The headache rack is also a attachment point for pulling things into the bed.

Yesterday I used the V10 to remove a complete 14 bolt for my 91 R30 C/C square.



The truck crane I made myself with the legs horizontal it can be legally driven down the road(as legal as those hitch cargo things) . My taillights are visable. But I do need to move my plate to the crane as the crane blocks where the plate is mounted to my bumper.
It uses 4 legs to level and then the hitch is used as a 5th point. The rear of the truck is lifted slightly by the jacks so the suspension is not affected by load. The base can rotate 360 degrees if need be. But I usually just rotate it between 120 and 180 degrees to get things in and out of the bed before repositioning.

I haven't been on this thread in forever. Cool to see those Squares still in service. It probably sounds trite, but thank you for yours too.
