Thumbs up Re: Oilfield King Hauler

I too think it would look nice stretched a bit but it look just as nice the way you are going with it, can't wait to see how you replicate the winch and frame will be nice when finished... Keep the update pictures coming.

@ dabears
Hey thanks ,i've always thought the oilfield trucks were cool ,hope I can do it justice. I cut the metal about halfway through at the rear of the bed,then bent down to the angle i needed ,then spot welded just for now,still have quite a bit of metal fabbing to do.

@ Joe
Hey Joe ,thanks man.
Thought about using a winch from rc4wd ,shows to be on back order though,will be a while before I need it ,may look around some more for one..
I have thought about gin poles,may leave those out .

@ Claus
Thanks for the pic,cool rig ,well ,have already cut the frame to shorten a little,The way I do my metal work is a little slow,with the tools I have .
Will probably leave it the lenght it is now.

@ Dairyland trucker
Thanks ,yea looking foward to getting to the headache rack .Have a few ideas for it,have a ways to go on it.
