[QUOTE="140mower, post: 5698, member: 447"] In my quest for a better tow rig than my current Dodge pick-up and a dump truck I recently picked up a Ford single axle cab-over and have located a dump box that should fit it nicely. It sure going to be a short little thing, it has a 117” wheel base, but being a cab-over it will still take a 10' dump box, now the fun part of trying to make it all work together. The hydraulics have me stumped at the moment, the easiest would be to put in a pto off the trans and go from there, but I'd like to have “live” hydraulics to run a front plow and sander in the future, which would likely be belt driven off the front of the engine. Anybody else done this or have any ideas or tips to make things go a little smoother? I'll try and get some pics up here soon and try and keep things updated as I go along. Thanks, Don [/QUOTE]
