Looks great. Whats the size of that lift cylinder? That looks like a front end loader cylinder... What kind of hydro pump are you going to use?

Its a 5" with a 36" stroke.We have a old Allis Chalmers TL14D loader that I was parting/scrapping out so It gladly donated a Cylinder.From my calculation the cylinder should work out fine especially since it was free.If I run into it being a problem I'll fab up a hoist.

What kind of hydro pump are you going to use?

I'm going to use an electric pump as I'm kinda partial to them since on of my employees burned up a PTO on another truck.He left it engaged then attempted to drive it 30 miles.

 

[Wicked500R]

Yeah, alot of MoMo's seem to forget that a PTO can only be used in neutral.
A power down unit should work nice with that set-up

One thing about a cab-over. If there's a wreck, you'll be the first one there.

Andy

don't wreck !!! solves that problem !!!

Wow, I'm still working on the upper cylinder mount which was pre existing and Realized I could have Built my own in much less time than its taking to rebuild someone else's Un square non concentric POS.My theory is build it square and fabricate it like a Brick outhouse and you wont have to worry about it.

Here is the upper cylinder mount I overhauled and the bed upside down on the truck reinforced.

Here is the mount reinstalled and the cylinder in the truck frame.

Mad fab skills, nice work.

I often worry about my NPR dying and me needing to take thebed from mine and put it on another one. Mine is an electric/hydrolic unit, are you gona use the PTO? (Ahh, I see now)

LOL Only if you will come get it!

Hmmmmm I'm going to have to get some height off of it.Looking at a measurement on a tape and then in reality is sometimes staggering.

What is the plan for doing that?

 

[DDM]

I can get 3" off by removing the spacers and adjusting the rear hinge.That should be enough.

I often see truck beds with spacers and sit up high. I always wondered how come they didn't tip over and why they were built so high.
There is a co. around here that has a rollback log truck, it has a huge dumpster on the back. It doesn't look like it could go down the road with out tipping over its so high and heavy.

A friend is doing a fit out of a new isuzu npr 4x4.He brought the pto set up as a complete unit.Just build your bin/box.

Be a good bin truck.

LOL, Yeah that one has caught me I don't know how many times. what was the 3" spacers for, Rubbing? If so we used to use flat bar for the heavy duty beds and wood for the smaller ones, So if you wante you could use 1/2" bar by what ever the width of your tube/flange on your bed is. Looking good

The spacers were for the fear I wouldnt have enough angle on my cylinder.But it
seems to have enough angle even if the spacers were to be removed.

 

[DDM]

Well its been so hot I havent felt like working on this project lately.I installed the hydraulic pump and tank on a plate and mounted it this afternoon.

 

[DDM]

Yesterday I Really lucked up on a much better and heavier bed.This one is decked with 1/4" steel and the frame is much heavier as well.I will cut 1' off the front as it was a add on anyway.I got it for 350.00
