Awesome. Do you have any pictures of it?

Thats great. Did you do the work yourself? How is the lift powered, a PTO or an external generator?

Yeah my brother and I did the work... Its powered by a 12volt hydrolic pump and its a scissor lift!

Ohh and here is the donor truck that we got the dump bed off of...

Thats awesome. You guys did a great job. Whats the weight capacity of the lift?

 

[dietz4ibanez]

I think that it would lift about 12-15k in the dump bed...

Thats cool. It is a nice truck, and a nice conversion. You should be proud.

Yeah I am.. But I wish I didnt have to put a new water pump on it! But for what I have into it I shouldnt complain...
