In the throes of completion SQUAREMAX L5P

I'm trying to upload a photo of the bed on the rotisserie but it keeps turning into a .HEIC file and then I can't find it. I don't know.

CUCVs only came with one tank. I'd like to add the passenger side tank also, is LMC Truck the best place to buy all that? Any recommendations on a hitch? Thanks in advance.

I really dig the twin sticks! Nice looking rig and it is beyond obvious the $hit ton of money that made that project go. lol

Three inches never hurt anyone

but it never got far either

did it?

@Dysco

Oops

it didn’t get that far

so far my research shows 34" frame width on a 1 Ton chassis was likely a C&C, hence the narrower 14 bolt axle on same. 37" looks to be C/K 10/20/30. Reason I ask is that the "deep drop" 16k hitch is only available for the 34" frame width. I can fab something up but bolt in would be nicer. Thoughts?

I thought a cab and chassis had a longer spring set but the same location as a cucv.
Maybe that would be the same.
Hmm


The narrower rails does allow a dually. Better that is. Is the trailer hitch a straight piece with two backward facing supports? Can you show us a pic?

C&C has a narrower axle for sure. Can be SRW or more commonly DRW but narrower than C/K. If necessary I'll wait for the truck to be back home in a couple of weeks.

I used a curt C15800 on my 90 v3500 srw. It fit great, and is super nice and heavy. I also purchased through e trailer. Additionally I installed a b&w turnover ball in the bed (97-1401). I will have to move it slightly (aligned the ball over the rear axle before putting the bed on) because the plate interferes with one of the bed crossmembers. This was due to my own incompetence (installing with no bed at the time) not the product. It will fit great after the slight adjustment I'll make when replacing the bed.
