Converting My 1 Ton Winch Truck To Long Poles Part 2

I need my winch truck with gin poles to have a much longer height for pulling a couple of cabs. in this part I rig the long poles back into the short ones and get it ready to go. #oilfield #ford #cummins #superduty

Winch Trucks Rule! Stay safe.

I try, I'm already planning a medium duty build winch truck.

I did basically the same thing on an old one ton 57 Chevy back in the 80s. I pulled water wells and multiple engines and even used the old truck for a tow truck for many years.

Yeah I built this truck in 2020 because it's so handy.

How did it last after repeated use? Did it hold up to fatigue?

[@diesellivesmatter]

I've only done a few picks with it. In this video there is too much lean and I bent one poke when I went to pull the red cab.

@@diesellivesmatterafter seeing this video I’d like to build something similar on my flat bed as I think it would be very handy to have.

@@joshk155 very handy for around the homestead. This truck is good for moving up to 3000# and I built it for $1500
