The story

Factory Highboy on 315/75/16 w/8 lug Steel Directional rims.

Diamond Plate Flatbed w/2 covered holes... 1 for a Gooseneck hitch and 1 for removable, swing-hoist that was gone before I got my hands on it. Damn!

Home made flatbed side racks... first run. Good design, bad choice of wood.

Western 3 spring, Hydraulic 3 way Plow (made of 3 or more Western parts off different models, by P.O. & weld repaired by ME!)

Monsta-Liners Roll-On Bedliner for Interior Cab floor - Hose It Out!
