Moving out
this was yesterday in the sunlight for the first time.
this is what a rednecks yard looks like.
and this is how you utilize every part of a donor rig(temporary lights-aren't they pretty! =/~ but they plug in so super easy. real ones will be OEM look 54-59 stepside with super bright LED mounted on rear of utility boxes.
take these 2 used 10,000 GVW rated ford hitches from CL$35/each, cut the top off one and the bottom off the other, weld together
use the OEM ford MONSTER bolts and mounting plates
generous use of a plasma cutter, die grinder, and welder and I've got a new flush-mount, HD hitch. Finally a truck in my life again-its been a long 30 days since towing ability!
amazing how that floor gets dirty so fast! gonna use it as a truck tomorrow. as it sits its just barely over 3,300 pounds and a little squirrelly. adding hood, bumpers, bed, air tanks, 2nd battery, winch and side boxes should help along with LF upper ball joint(dreaded task)
