I had a line on a take off hood, front perches, shocks, spings, windshield wipers and windshield for 200.00. Check out craigslist, sadly people are selling the axles from the 5 tons and scrapping the rest of the truck. Get it on a flat bed and bring your torch....get what you need before the...

Gotta love the safety wire!

What a horrible looking hood....That thing looks square as heck on the front.

I love the coke bottle opener.....I have one in the basement that will soon have a new home....

Great install, good looking dump too! Thanks

Cant wait to see it, please post lots of pics.....I have been thinking about dropping my rear axle if I keep the truck for a while.....cant wait to see the progress!

Kaboom and smoke avoided....

good to hear!
