Under that sheet of plastic in the bed was nothing but the sub-structure of the bed, and clear space to the ground...

The dump is a '93 F350 7.3, ATS 093, E4OD. Hopefully soon to have a 6.9. It's a class-A rust bucket. It spent 10 years plowing & throwing salt in Michigan before I got it.
The other truck is a '93 F250 Supercab XLT, 460, E4OD. It's clean (though not as clean as snapons'), low miles, & a pretty good truck. Though with the TTB front axle, I'm pretty sure the USS Missouri will turn inside it...
The chipper's even older than that, FORDF250HDXLT, it's not even an "a" model, just a bc625...
I gather you cut & chip?
Yeah, the plow hangs out an extra 13" because of a "side swing" I built for it.

Hey Coal,
When I got the truck, a friend of mine with a fab shop started helping me battle patch it up. After looking at it closely, we figured that we'd spend less time & money if we pretty much just started over... We kept the headache rack, the main framework that the lift connects to, and the back uprights, and scrapped the rest. I wanted to make it taller, anyway.
Mason dumps always look goofy, & I wanted the extra volumn. I can get 4.5 yrds in it easy. It's built out of structural tube & 11ga. sheet, so it's plenty stout.
Phy
btw- Love the looks of your truck. I've always liked that red.
