Thats how i usually do it Mike, but "Davidson Salvage" is full. (insert Sanford and Son theme song here). And i cant get that thing on and off the car trailer. And the ol' Lady would not be happy if a roll back showed up with that and dumped it in the yard.

Ask and ye shall recieve......

Four long pices of pipewith loops on one end of each. You use them on the extended boom to rase heavy loads. But you can't move the boom when you use them.

yep thats them

there should be 4 pipes with loops on the end, a bar to keep the seperated, and a pin that goes through the boom to attach the support legs to.

What a nice day for pickin at the junk yard. Got some more booty, pics coming soon. Turns out the guy that checked me out was in the Marine's from 1960 to 1966. So a 1/2 hour long conversation was in order. He was checkin out my M1008.

Pics as promised.

The winch is still there. They said no torching cause of the leaves. I was gonna ask them to move it, but i had other things that had to get done that day.

 

[OLDCHEV4X4]

[OLDCHEV4X4]

This plate was seriously broke....1/2 plate snapped like a twig.
I think the operator didn't know what he was doing

 

[OLDCHEV4X4]

There was a couple other things that caught my eye too.

in picture #1 on post #29, those go on the boom winch.

If I was only a lot closer I would just have them load it on my trailer and give them green stamps and hit the road. I never get in the right junk yards.

First pic is a lifting sling bar. Used for sling loading a truck underneath a Chinook for airborne operations.

cool does anyone have a set of these or drawings for them as id like to have a set
thanks

 

[maddawg308]

You might have to fab them up. I have only seen a couple complete sets anywhere in the civvy world, most were scrapped by surplus buyers because they are kinda useless, none of us have any Chinook to sling load our trucks. Also, you cannot drive your truck with them on. You can, but first time your rear axles articulate, you will snap the hinge pin, or the bracket.

Anyone here have one that you can measure for earnie?

 

[txdodge43man]

I am buying the sling from him and plan on having my guy in the fab shop fab one up ill make some drawings when I get time and post them on here. maddawg308 I have heard that alot form people but have also seen a few photos of trucks in NAM driving with them stll attached I want a set just to put on during static displays its answers that time less question " what are the C thingys on the side of the bed" been asked that to many times.

 

[Stretch44875]

If the blue crane has any outriggers, I am interested.

 

[earnie]

If you dont want the lifting sling bar I would like to put my name in the Hat for it.

same here , or if possible maybe some one could fab these up
