Looking for the books to help put back together right! It is a 16' dump/hoist, straight 6 cylinder, manual trans/split rear end. Will the parts off e-bay for a 52 pickup work on one of these trucks? Wiring and stuff??? Any ideas would be great. Thanks to all and have a great day. Try the stovebolt.com http://www.stovebolt.com/ [Reply]  [No Email]

You would probably be better off just buying an Ebay universal harness and rewiring the truck that way. There isn't much to that loom. remember to buy some resistors to drop down the power unless you upgrade your dash gauges if you've converted from 6v to 12v. jongersbach@yahoo.com is my email. contact me w/ any questions. best of luck. show us some pictures.   [Reply]  [Send Email]

I have a 2ton that I bought and have decided to sell or part it out and get a 1 ton. If you need any parts, feel free to let me know. She is for sale locally complete. But if I don"t get it sold I"ll start parting it out. jg   [Reply]  [Send Email]
