Its great. We have this truck and a GMC 6500 4 door, set up the same way. The GMC was our first try at it and we goofed badly. We ended up with a truck that was too heavyto start with.

The goal was to make what you see, carrying what you see and come in under the 26000 lb cut off. The first GMC set up was way over. So we redisigned (and re bought) a new lighter hook lift, shortened the wheel base, lightened the body, and went to alluminum where we could and we got it down to the mark.

Then we bought and built the IHC in the photo.

In that behind the cab box are the long hanled tools like rakes and shovels, but there is also a 50 gallon diesel tank too.

Both trucks have 2 pto's so I have one for the hook and one for a 125 cfm pto driven compressor.

When we roll out with one of these we want for nothing and the versitility of a hook lift is awsome for material deliveries, or body change overs

Thanks Matt. I'll try to post what I can. I tried to add a bunch of photos to my album but the sizes were too big and I still cant figure out how to resize them.

Maybe I'll send them email to you

Nice trucks!

You clearly have spent quite a bit of time working out the details so you can be efficient. And that Mack is a gem.
