I'm in the process of buying a "48" 1 1/2 ton Chevy. It doesnt have a dump
bed and I was wondering how difficult it would be to convert. What size of
cylinder is needed, is there a fluid reservoir,dump cable or lever? I have a
1 1/2 ton at a junkyard that I've been taking parts from and it has a dump
bed on it but it"s a regular dump truck bed not a farm truck bed. The dump
cylinder on this truck is about 6" around and has a smaller cylinder attached
to it's side that is about 1 1/2". Is that the reservoir? Are there any
manuals out there that address the issue of the Chevy AD dump bed?? I have
an idea of what I need, but thats about it! Thanks for your time, Mike
