Never really took any finished pics. Had the camera out today figured I better get a few before it gets more damage, or rusts!.

I made the bumper, and the head board. Piece of 8" I beam. I welded it to the hitch so its all one piece now.

Thanks, purpose built for plowing, and work. Its supposedly the heavy duty 3/4 ton, but as far as I am concerned its a heavy duty 1/2 ton. Semi floating rear. Its not hard to over freight it even with new rear main leaves, and two extra leaves added. Also added a positive arch rear spring into the brand new three leaf front spring packs. 8' plow with a snow foil, and a bunch of snow stuck to it only sags the front about an inch
 The crane is capable of picking up 1500 lbs. I have it set up so I can unplug it and plug in the 8000 lbs winch that slides into the receiver. Also have the same plug on a set of jumper cables, and a plug on the front. Both ends are wired through an 100 amp circuit breaker.
  Yeah I don't think I will have to worry if anyone rearends me in anything smaller than me!

Awesome.  I love the yellow, too.  My ole 68 stang was 1970 Ford Yellow, like the 70 Boss mustangs--love that, especially with black accent interior/stripes.   You have sort of a Tonka yellow.  Put a black pinstripe along the body line--that oughta look great. Love the name also.

I am sure vile loves the MoonVisor.  ;D  I do.
