truck bed lifter?
Anybody know of another source for something like this that might cost less?
http://truck-bed-lifter.brutmfg.com/ I realize it's not bad for what it does, I just can't imagine using it more than twice ever. Tom

I just used my engine lift and ratchet straps. Worked like a charm.

Re: truck bed lifter?
When I lifted my bed a month or so ago, I just got myself at the front right corner, dad at the front left and my uncle at the back. Just get a few buddies over to help you out, it'll save you a bit of money. Maybe use some brews to entice em' over.

Re: truck bed lifter?
a 2x4 c clamped to the bed rail and balance it out does the same thing // the key is to try and outthink the bed

Re: truck bed lifter?
Made mine out of 2 2x4s and a set of rails from a double bed.

Re: truck bed lifter?
Search for "one man cab lift" . That way if you build one I can borow it.
Thanks again Tom, Hope the crossmember works out for you. |
