I got some more done to the ramp today. The exhaust was only held by 2 studs to the manifolds so I had a extra set with good stud's. I started taking them off the other night after work but it got dark and then it turned cold so I just waited until today. Got both old ones off and I tapped all the holes. The passenger side is back on and the exhaust back up. Drivers side is ready to go on tomorrow morning. While getting the passenger side off I broke a plug off so I did a whole new set of spark plugs. Hopefully by next weekend I'll have the new front tires on and the tilt column installed.

Ok so here is what I did.
Ran cable from truck battery to 12 volt contactor. It operates on 12 volts and is good for 400amp cont use. Then from there to 2-6 volt batteries. I ran the ground back under the truck to the frame mounted bed. I ran a lighted switch to the dash to turn the charge on/off. Just need a 12 volt gauge to keep a eye on it when charging.

Adding air to the ramp now and working on the tilt wheel for it. I got the tank and compressor ready to mount and hoses all done. Need a relay wired and it will be good.
The tilt needs some work: Shave the bowl of the indicator and shifter and fill and weld up the movement of the bowl so it can't rotate. Then paint it. Make it into a straight drive tilt.

Air tank & compressor installed and running. It's holding 115PSI of air. I have a 90-120 switch on it to cut it on/off. I tied into the battery charger switch off the contactor. It want come on unless I'm charging the 2-6 volt batteries. I put 40 amp circuit breaker in line with the hot wire. I got about 25' of hose so shouldn' have a problem get air on the side of the road.
