Ok, I was able do download a few pictures while on break. Hope you like them.

Here's a couple with the Wood Hydraulic Hoist the day before I lifted it for the first time. Hope anyone who needs details gets them. I had to guess wildly to assemble it from a pile of parts.

Anyone else have a hoist like this?

[TruckMan]

Goodness sake, that was the same picture twice! Oops.

Here.

Here is a Wood Hydraulic Hoist installed in a 1927 Graham and another older truck. The exact same lift cams as mine, but both of these have the large rollers to the inside and the cams narrow. I have my rollers wide, as it was when i bought it, and my body had the angles set wide so it was the only natural way to do it. This also makes me think that I have a Wood Body.

Anyone wants to weigh in, please do.

That sure is a beautiful truck. Very nice, but not too nice to put to work. I think it is the dream of many an AAer to have a hoist of some kind under the body. To have a proper Wood unit is icing on the cake.

Here is the tailgate in action. Still needs finish grinding, and paint when the weather gets warm.

Stayed as close as I could to what I saw others do for the time period. Hope it looks alright.

Cool truck.
Truckman where did you find the wood dump body brochure that is great. How many pages are there to the brochure? Can you scan and post the others?

[TruckMan]

I have a pdf with 5 pages, but clearly it is not the entire brochure. I will post it in two posts as that seems to be the limit.

There. That's all I have. 5 pages. Someone from the Model A meet in Oshkosh sent it to me. I forget the name at the moment.
