Looks like you beefed up the rear crossmember with a receiver too.

But now no room for the pintle hitch or rear PTO! Just kidding, not much need for that stuff now days.

yes, it’s a class V of some kind that came with the truck. Welded it to the rear cross member and 4-1/2” grade 8 bolts. I have a pintel that goes into the receiver but yes sadly no rear pto

I see you've put your kids to work...

Get a look at how CLEAN that shop is !!!!


I love reorganizing my shop, cleaning it up. The next time I walk in there, it's so gratifying....

I love dirtying my garage up. Then I clean it the next day. I think of all the money I save by doing repairs myself. I spend the money on tools instead.

I have a private mechanic in Oklahoma who does work I can't do like swapping transmissions. Then I stand around and crack jokes while he has oil dripping in his face.

I love my truck.

Yep if the kids want to be able to have nice things and go on holidays they need to help out. We do quite a bit of work in our shop to subsidize our family income. The white semi was in for injector repairs, before that was a KW with 2 holes through the block ��

Made a new tailgate, painted the bottom of the cab and test fit the box. Need to do the final work around the turn over hitch and finish the mounts then it’s off for sandblast/primer

Got the box back from blasting and prime, installed the exhaust, transfer case installed, polished the valve covers, set the cab back on the frame, made a battery holder and a electronic ebrake
