Crown vic, then a demo car. And after torn apart to reclaim cage and whatnot it made real good trailer filler.

Got into town yesterday and picked up hooks for the safety chains and hitch pin with light chain so can't loose it


Pic of 6" oval led lights, simply cut a hole with torch and pop em in.



Spare tire rack in action

Coming together nicely Tater.

[happyisthealero]

can I see a pic or two of the welds?

[Mechanic688]

You had me scratching my head when you showed the first pic of the stud with the nut screwed on there. I thought it was some over-engineered tongue jack. lol By the way, where is the jack?? Do you just lift it off onto a cement block?? Smart way to handle the lights, minimize damage.

[taterjuice]

Look at the 3rd pic and you'll see it mech.

Ran this load in today


Second trip I've used this bed. Think I might keep it for a while longer, it really helps get the most use of available space.

dayum dude

Huh ? Too bad there was only 5000 pounds on there ! Not too bad considering it's mostly tin and light bs ! And all but 1500 # was free.
