Mike:
I own a "stealth" M35 dumptruck.
I had a professional welding shop remove my dropside cargo bed, install a
9-ton hydraulic hoist and combination pump/reservoir, situated where the
spare tire was.
The installation required the add-on rear-facing PTO unit that bolts to the
rear of the winch PTO. There is a second handle made of 1 inch by 1/4 inch
flat stock, that comes up through the same hole in the floor where the winch
control is. The hydraulic pump and valves are actuated by a
dashboard-mounted control, similar to a large choke control.
The cost of the whole thing was $3000 in 1999 money.
I can email some pictures of the control, but I have no pictures available
of the dump body in operation.
The body is simply hinged at the rear, and lands on the frame, which has had
2" x 4" s added to its top edge to make everything line up properly. The
bumperettes need to be lowered about 6 inches, so that the body, when
raised, will clear them.
>From a distance of 50 feet, you can't tell that it's a dumptruck. It is very
usefull, and I'm glad I had it installed.
