How did you fab your jack bracket, looks easily accessible?

Interesting... I had that on my list of things to do when I started working on my truck a few years ago. I bought the replacement band. Flat as a ruler. Then later at a show I picked up an NOS band assembly. All mounted and ready to slide over the drum. Maybe that was a good move. That was an excel...

Great work Hal,
I did mine so long ago, I forgot how much work it was. I do remember the weather was not like what we are dealing with.

Excellent, handsome one too!

What a trip, Glad the M had a wonderful parade. Surf fishing everyday, hopefully eating steamed crabs a few times and plenty of family time.

Sweet, looking real good!

I know that felt great, thanks for sharing Cliff!

I did mine, but I added several captive nutz, a couple were really a "you know what"! My plan was to weld original nutz to the bed and cross members.

Mine was bad, but not that far gone!

What Bob said, very clean install! Like the way you did the extension.

I like the chrome, but it's your truck.

I wonder how many times the top of the hinge can be opened and closed?

Dennis, Congratulations, now I'm green with envy!

Great post Tim, we all need to remember this!

Nice ramble, great pics, exhaust looks great too.
