Re: Need Opinions

Guys still do it but it does tend to cause a bit of flexing there and it might cause the front pump seal to leak.

There are bolt on side mount kits including the tube crossmember setup that take front mounts. You would just bolt the side pieces to the frame and when you had the crossmember set right drill holes through the tubes in each side and run a bolt through both tubes to hold it in place rather than welding the tubes. Quick, simple and no welding.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
