that is the ENTIRE plow hydraulic assembly and part of the frame. correct, i am in ma, and with the state using the LIQUID SALT, its wreaking hell on all vehicles. im fortunate, my truck is still getting work done, so it isnt on the road. but my cargo box was completely fcked, the rockers and cab corners WERE toast, i just finished replacing them yesterday, as well as painted the truck. my bed including hydraulics cost me $275 to build. and so far is worth the investment. to haul dirt, gravel, or mulch. i use the bed liner from my 1st Gen Dakota.

i just set it so the control box for the hydraulics are in the cab. just gotta finish the wiring, and other minor repairs then it'll be good for road use

 

WOW!! Thanks for that info!!

 

if you chose to do this, let me know, i dont mind helping other members...
