Managed to mig myself a nice weldor's tan on this project. Installed side wall pockets, and a rear receiver hitch on the old triple axle prior to painting.
Running for lumber this weekend in between stump grinding to build 23" sides up and around.
Installed a mini boom. Dad got this for me for my birthay years ago when I was grabbing motors and transmissions for my 4x4 truck projects. I was supposed to put it into a truck bed, but found a better use for it. Not to take the place of a loader, but we run across plenty of jobs where there are only a few chunks you don't even want a couple of guys handling. Why bring a loader for a few chunks? This should save some space and weight from time to time even when I get a mini. I'm not sold on it entirely, just have to see how it goes. I mostly got sick of watching it do nothing and it might be a selling point when I upgrade to a dumper next year.
Almost done with the Ford, a work box behind the cab and a winch bumper are all that is left to install. Need to figure out some signage for the rolling billboard.
This one's for treevet: she's grinding just fine.
I've just been too busy this summer to finish these projects up, glad to push off a few gigs that I'll need this stuff for and catch up on stumps with a few removals worked in from time to time. I'm still a couple days behind on estimates and bids, but a fall push is in the works like last year. Highs in the 70's this next week will be perfect timing!
