2005 5.9 Ram build.
I spen the day building the crane mount and mod8fying the crane base. Hopefully by the end of tomorrow I will ha e the bed put back together but none of this kind of work ever is just easy...
I fitt the outer diamons plate piece and crane in (almost) full mock up.
I used 2x1/2 mild steel for the base, still gotta drill out the mounting holes.
Modified crane base. I raised the crane up 7 1/2 inches to clear the tool box.
I still need to build a cradle to land the crane boom in. I want to have the boom pinned in a cradle so it can't bounce around or just get stolen.
(The crane just lifts off the base)
