Still need a grille guard? I have a slightly bent one ill be taking off my M1009 in the near future that you can have. It could work for you with a little heat and modification to fit the ford bumper. Just have to arrange a pick up (1 hour drive).

That would be great! Yes Let me know when it is off and we will work it out, thanks!

Thanks, I had it laying around and got tired of looking at it sitting there.

A note, though. One bed was from an A1 and one was from an A0. The mounting tabs appear to be in different positions! I would have thought that to mount the beds back for the extra space for the super singles they would have moved the tabs on the "frame" and not the beds??

Added an extra R&R as we didn't plan for that, but got it done in a few hours.
If I'm seeing what I think I'm seeing.... Your "new" dropside bed is from a 5-ton, but your old bed was from a Deuce. Note the extra length forward of the troopseats indicating the difference.

IMHO

image.jpgimage.jpgpicked up a couple cabs/hoods to split with a friend, as well as a 4bt Cummins up in PA. 8 hour drive to NC and the truck didn't miss a beat. Best recovery truck I could ask for. Even got a thumbs up from a couple GrandMas in a mini van among others.

Thanks for resurrecting this thread. It's been dormant for 13 months or so.

I thought about it just the other day when I saw a former motorhome's cutaway cab and chassis for sale locally. I thought about recreating your project but already have too many irons in the fire.
It's good to see just how handy it is for you.

Carry on.
