And after 3 months of evenings head scratching and learning to weld, here is the after shot Just the bed/chip box to sort out now (which will be in wood to start with, much more comfortable using it and this thing needs to get out and earn me some money!)

 

Hope that body tips more than that woodchip is a sod to get moving.

Yeah that's only 2/3 of the ram up, I get a 55-60 degree angle roughly.

The Ford has a few imminent jobs required over the next year or so. Not cheap either, so, I dont really want to put any more money into it at this stage. Cummins engines can go for 500K miles or more, and have a tone of power. May as well bite the bullet before the end of the tax year.

5.9 shouldnt slow up on the hills too much. Jesus! Hard to tell in the pics isn't about the size of a normal 4x4 pickup or more like a tranny?

Nice Reg. Are you selling the Ford, as I may be interested, depending on details. Have been looking for a smaller chip truck, but no luck so far.

Its about 20-21 feet at a guess. Has the small flip-up seat at the back so not quite as long as the full size cab. Dually style pickups (6 wheels) are generally Transit size, comparably.
