[spliffnwesson]

I still really like this truck, tho I stopped saying so after every update.
It was beginning to feel redundant.

Still pretty sweet.
Keep up the excellent work, can't wait to see it finished.

 

[SEMIJOE]

today i did more work on the taile gates

 

[SEMIJOE]

its been awhile but busy busy busy !

i received in some motors and gear boxes that i might be able to use.so i mount the boom

it will extend and reel

i really need an opinion here to c if im doing to much to it or its good to do

 

[William]

recoovery boom is awesome on there :wnk

I keep saying this, but here goes again, this rig just keeps getting better. :drool

 

[spliffnwesson]

I like the recovery boom, looks like it would be fun.

Will it not turn? or do you just not want it to?

Just my opinion, but I think it would look cleaner without the tailgates on the crane truck.
It would have less going on with just the crane on the flatbed, plus you could see more of where the crane mounts.
Since the crane takes up a lot of space, there isn't much room for cargo. Instead of tailgates you could just strap down the cargo on the back, or mount the spare tire there.

But I don't know what you got planned.

Still looks good :tmb

 

[mcfig]

I would have to say I'm not wild about it.

I guess it depends one what you are looking to use this truck for.

 

[SEMIJOE]

well after taking in everybodies opinion. iwas shock

not to many people like the crane

so i ve installed the wood planks and now im waiting on paint and cab to come in

and thnx again everybody

 

[spliffnwesson]

I thought it was just mcfig that wasn't thrilled about it.

I liked it, but thought it would look better as a flatbed without the tailgates.

 

[SEMIJOE]

ive added some item to the headache rack

 

[SEMIJOE]

what do guys think of these rims and hubs
