Thats like a high tech version of what I've been doing over the years. We did a similar thing putting a contact maintenance body back on truck but instead of using the engine crane, we used a bumper jack. Same thing when I lifted the M146 semi trailer body using a bunch of blocks and 2 bottle jacks. Whew, glad I have the wrecker now.

m34 bed install

looks great!

did you slip in a pair of the wood "firring strips" between the frame and the bed?

or did they not use them then?

Adam -I did put in sill plates, but someone on here gave me the wrong dimensions, and I had to rip them down. They are still a bit too big, but I'll fix that later.

Joel - Yes we used the hoist to get the bed up on the blocks. A little at a time.

I'll post some more detail pics of the truck this weekend if anyone is interested, or if your going to the COMVEC show you can check it out in person.
