Hello,
I was hoping someone could give me there opinion. I have an 87 1 ton HD with a 12 foot body that's bad. I don't want to save it. I have an electric hydraulic pump currently. I have priced steel, and after finding out the high costs have decided at looking at used Arbortechs, and Southco bodies (take offs.) Will a 5' tall box be high enough for a one ton, or do I need taller like a 6 foot ? My next question is; if I find a used body that comes with the ram, etc and was designed for a pto system, can I use my current electric hydraulic pump instead of the original pto type set up? I would rather not buy a new pto if my old one will work fine. Hope someone can help.
