I know what you mean. It is a never ending job to keep these old trucks running well, and looking good. They are never "done." Just when I finally pulled my PTO's shifter shaft steel seals out, and put in new ones today, now I have to deal with a bad NDT. So pulled off the blighted front tire, washed it up, put back in the bed, after taking down the new spare. But decided since my front drum was dirty and rusty I just spent several hours cleaning the drum, and drying and painting it with rust preventing paint, and will paint it with my Gillespie 2407 paint tomorrow. Then find a way to begin to change out my NDT's for Goodyear off road tires, per Charles T's suggestion to me yesterday. Then will look over my wiring, then...... Sigh,,,, Just never done. Hal

Dang, I didn't know the Hy-lift came with a bracket, looks like it came there!
Your truck is superior.
