For all those interested in a dump on they're military truck, read on.

I did in fact put a dump on my truck and it works well. I used a 24 volt
pump and a hoist from Scott, the LL700 I think. Here's a link:

I did a rather labor intensive job on my truck that enables me to remove my
bed with ease. This would not be needed for everyday use. I just wanted to
be able to remove my bed, well, just because. It seemed like the right
thing to do at the time. All in all I spent close to $2000 on the material.
That's what I spent on everything including hoses, wire and
steel. I would think any good welder could put one on a truck in 1/2 to a
whole day. If anyone has specific questions I would be happy to answer
them. My truck is extremely done but if anyone wants to take a look at it
at the rally I will have the back empty so I can hoist it up.
