Juan, here is a picture of the inside of a 45"bar. It's not the best photo, but may give you the insight needed.
I'm not seeing mechanization for movement/direction of lights. I think the control boxes are a bit more difficult to come by.
Very nice rig thtrev. It seems like a noble use for the truck and I'm sure the kids are something more than proud to be on a campout with such a cool troop vehicle. My truck was basically a personal toy to haul stuff around home and cruise with my kids, so I certainly can't comment on the choice...
tnmogger did this too. Stock tank notched around spring hanger.
Hope Bob doesn't mind me posting and giving credit. I had a snapshot saved for my personal notes.

Also, If your bearing nut starts to back off, it could easily "crowd" the clearances on the spider gears and cause heat. I've heard several say...
It looks like the sides still drop for loading. It was hard to tell in the video, but I can't imagine them going back to a fixed side. Most of the payload for these trucks is either palletized or designed in it's own machine-loadable container.
I carry a torque multiplier and a 20 ton bottle jack in the tool box. I hope I never need to use them along the roadside somewhere!
Torque = TIGHT!:shock:
She makes it look easy with this new 24V tool.
