dump bed conversion

Northern tools has a conversion kit to turn a truck bed into a hydrolic lift dump bed. does anyone have any experience with these things? are they worth the $900?

Jimbo,

Do not buy one from Northern Tool. Go directly to Pierce Sales in Texas. They are the manufacturer. They have a website at www.piercesales.com. You can get one direct from them for $100.00 less plus they are real nice folks.

I bought one 3-4 years ago and installed it on a 1973 C20. It is the greatest thing since sliced bread. I use the heck out of it hauling manure, dirt and rocks on the farm. It is very well built but I made some improvements to suit the way I do things. Installed it myself in a weekend. It is well worth the money. It will definately dump the 4000 lbs it is rated at plus I have dumped 6500 lbs out of mine.

Good luck. Let me know if you want more info.

BigMac
