Type of lifts for fiberglass bodies.

[wilddiesel]

What are pro mod pullers doing to lift there steel or fiberglass bodies up? Any picture of their setups? How about frame work to hold fiberglass bodies together.

Its a 2wd, but Dale has alot of pics of the build... I know there are some of the tubework holding the fiberglass body. Its a tiltbody also... 2wd Super Mod build - Competition Diesel.Com - Bringing The BEST Together

The pump and the ram are off of a concrete truck they are used to lift the shute's up.The 12volt pump is a Manark, and the ram cam from a MTM mixer.You can see some more picture on my Photo bucket.

Chris, made a good amount of improvments with his new truck one being the dual ram set up. I am still running the single and it works well so far. Also mine is a steel body with the exception of the front clip.

You might some some other angles here:

:evil I wouldn't know.

All kidding asside the pump had a bad releaf valve in it and they told me to just replace that was back in 95 when I was turning wrench's for them same with the ram.those are the last useable parts I had left. I used to scavenge any thing that was replaced.

Dale shops for pulling parts at night...with a flashlight.....:hehe:

Dale did you ever get to make a pass down the track under power, not hooked to the Suzuki

 

[SmokeShow]

it's definitely looking good Chris. And Dale, you got nothing to be ashamed of. THe fact that yours is what is and came from a one-car garage is all that more amazing IMO.

Both are super impressive in their own rights.

Just pulling this back up from a few months ago.

Just curious Chriss if you have any idea how much weight you have there with all the internal frame work, rams and hydrolics dealing with the tilt body?
