Heck Arthur, thats reinventing the wheel. Remember, my goal would be to carry
the weight over the tandem, not behind it. I do have an old GMC General at my
disposal with the noisy 8V92 Detroit and Holmes 750 split boom. As long as
you slam your hand in the door and drive the truck like your angry, its quite
the workhorse. I just wanna be different with the piggyback setup. Hey, maybe
I could craft up a piggyback unit for the rear tandem? I have no intention
of modifying the M275A2, it's just too nice. I'm gonna build the piggyback
just for the heck of it. Only cost will be for the steel and I think I have
most of it. Self loading with the winch and a stout tree should be fun albeit
a bit dangerous. Who wants to watch?
