Re: C30 to K30 dump

Learned a lot about ptos this week. One from a 2wd won't work on a 4wd because it won't clear transfer case for one thing unless you have a heavy duty one from a big truck. Swap wasn't that hard. Had to make a new cradle for resevoir tank, fix dump "stop" on one side, re attach pivot to rear of host truck after cutting off of donor truck. Found adapter to use 4wd pto with existing pto shafts. Had to remove the old firetruck bubble gum light from cab top so that dump hang over wouldn't hit. Got body mounted today in 20 degree weater. Next step is to re route exhaust on driver side, tail lite and lic. plate lites, etc. All "lite" stuff lol.
