I can only imagine the diameter of the 6' long bolts....


They are only 1", but the crane is 20' long.
On Garage Journal with my same user name I have an album tha shows more.

Well, some of you may remember the 2010 V10 F350 with a service body I got as a work truck a couple months back. Unfortunately, due to a complete, semi freak, wrong place wrong time accident, it was totalled. However, some bad things turn out to be good and I present to you my first brand new vehcile EVER! This is my 2016 F350 SRW, 6.2l V8, 4x4, extended cab long bed, with 3.73 locking rear. It is an XL, I hate cloth seats and couldn't afford a model with leather LOL. But it is just about exactly what I wanted. It has power windows, upgraded radio, chrome strip around the front grill,and a few other goodies like upfitter switches. It was missing a few things I wanted, but nothing major. And surprisingly, it didn't have a built in brake controller, but I got that worked into the deal and will be getting that and a bedliner installed when I return to the dealer for my permanent tags. All in all, very excited and thankful to have a good job that allows me to make a purchase like this at 20 years old. Here she is!

Nice. That truck should last you for a good long time. Post up some pictures of it in action when you get a chance to use it.

looks great. I don't know why the brake controller and up fitter switches aren't standard on all of the super duty trucks.

Sounds like you turned the lemons into lemonade. :thumbsup:

(And I'm not calling the V10 a lemon. :laughing:)

Mine was no problem. In this picture I put it up there to work on it. Deck was all the way up on it which is normally what I do when not mowing.
