Baystate Jeepers

Anyone local available to give me a hand lifting the bed off my dad's pickup truck some evening this week????
Gotta replace all the brake lines and to do the line for the rear I either have to pull the bed (easier) or remove the gas tank (expensive if a plastic line breaks )

I figure three extra sets of hands will do it

Thanks all!

Thurs or Fri I can

I'm around on Wed and can bring engine hoist to leave if that helps ?

John,

I can help you any evening you want

Can bring an engine hoist too.

Bolts are all removed from the bed.
Kurt, how long is the boom on your hoist?
I've got one here, but the arm is a little short.
Would like to get the bed off tomorrow sometime so I can get to work on the lines (need the truck ready by Sept 7th)

if you need a third set of hands..... just lemme know when and where. Have a new appliance being delivered Wednesday but *supposedly* by 1 PM

Not sure on the boom length. It does telescope out to a few lengths.
Would have to measure when I get home today.
I can certainly bring it tonight regardless just in case we need it.
Just gotta toss it in the truck when I get home.

Let us know when you want us there

Can be there after work..... just say when

The boom length (reach) on my hoist is 47" as measured from the lift piston to the hook.

O.K. How does this evening sound for people?
Kurt, please bring your hoist!!! Mine hoist's reach is only 31"

What Time?

Dang! Thought I posted that! I'm at the shop 'till 6 so anytime after that.

O-tay, I'll shoot for 6 with the hoist.

Thanks again Kurt and Carl for swinging by and giving me a hand to get the bed off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

pffttttt..... piece of cake! You did all the hard work before we got there
