Default Re: Structo dumptruck conversion

I'm not all about the actuator squareness either, but it all just works much better than any of what i had made.

Na, that's not "well used" fleet appearance like your crane has...
Pretty sure previous owners were like "thems all original, i know what i got" attitude, until the battered twisted parts are dragged out of the way somewhere to forget about, maybe some flooding happened, and i found them sometime much later after that?

(I think you're just trying to badger me into showing something 'restored' or 'nice' or 'not looking like a hammered turd')

Soda can dumptruck lift test:
24oz / 2 cans laying in bottom of bed, lifts it like unloaded
36oz / 3rd can in another row, up against fwd bulkhead, sounds more strained, lifts well
48oz / 4th can sits in notch from bottom row, straining even more, lifts slower.
No further testing, steering axle is too light to be useful at 48 oz.
