If I remember right, it’s 1-1/4x1-1/4 tube with 1/4x1 flat in between, fits nice in these bastard sized pockets. I bent them pretty good already getting in a hurry dumping the loader, need to find someone that can rip a couple of pieces of 1-1/4 plate.
Be careful before you invest too much without a good test. I don’t think Cordura is water proof. I think they offer some water resistant coatings, but for water proof aplications it’s usually paired with other materials such as Gortex.
It’s actually the same crane in different stages of the build. You just lift it out of the one pocket and drop it in another. I’m missing some build pictures, but this one shows the tube that I welded below the bed, then tied it into the side and rear rails of the bed with full length vertical...
Welded some square tube together to make some uprights to run a piece of 3/8 rod between to help support the bed sides until I can get my tailgate built..
I must has forgot to post my pictures here. I still need to make a pocket for the front bumper mount...used parts of an old engine hoist with a bad cylinder that was given to me. Bought a new air powered cylinder from Harbor Freight.Also added a small winch.Load tested to 1000lb.Can almost use...
I think your math is flawed... 29k payload +12k empty weight on the rear tandem= 20,500 per axle. Tires and wheels will be overloaded, as well as way past legal. 20k above the rears and you’ll be fine with the correct tire pressure. Also check tire/wheel width weight laws in your state.
