Re: '72 C3500 GMC flatbed project

No work on the GMC today, but started stripping the hydraulic lift frame of all the extra metal (IE the rusty dump body ) before I swap it across.





As you can see, this truck got used HARD


Anyway, Once I've got the lift frame stripped completely, I need to rebuild the last 6" of the rails on either side, then separate it from the '67 frame (it is welded on) and then get the flatbed off my GMC so I can swap it over and build new bolt-on mount towers for it. Tonight, I'm trying to ID the PTO ...
