It runs and sounds as good as it looks and the **** thing can move a house! No detail was spared, and the sad part about it, is Keith is still trying to figure out what else to do too it..... lmao... it never ends...... Great Job BUD!

Wow, thanks man. Appreciate the kind words.

I think the only detail missing with most of your projects is a company name.

Yeah, the issue with a company name would mean I'd have to keep them. Lol. This one I think will get one on it soon.

Steve, sorry. It was Grainger not McMaster.

Left spring is 3HPF9
Right spring is 3HPC4

I gave not tried them yet to be sure the tension is correct as I am waiting for the tarp. Hope that helps.

I'm thinking, once you get the loader in the proper colors , perhaps this might be a " keeper combo" ? .
Hmmm, I seem to remember asking you about keeping or parting before

Amazing work and beautiful truck Keith.

Thanks Ed, I used bathing suit material from JoAnns fabrics. It stretches just a bit, can get wet and they ends won't Frey when cut so no need for hems.
