Re: Structo dumptruck conversion
I don't know how I didn't see those? I thin the post 7 is what I need. How did you attach the axel to the leaf spring, some sort of U bolt? Is that in one of the pictures in the thread?

Re: Nylint michigan crane conversion, hopefully
Frizz,
I'll send this out along with two brass spacers. You might need to file the spacers down lengthwise to get a good fit on your boom pivot. I left them a tiny bit long on purpose.
