Take a look at the bed on my k20 and you'll understand. The box is really nice, Hence the reason its coming off, it won't be worth much if it stays on there for a few years of my use.
yeah if your puttin a 5th wheel and slinging big farm stuff in the back... things happen. keep that bed for later!

Ok, I know its been forever. But as stated earlier, my best work is done in my shop, not in front of my computer. The K30 is together and running. Heres some pics along the way.
It finally get some paying jobs out of the shop, and push mine in.

Some delays
Ever heard of the "killer dowel pin" on a cummins engine? Here's one of the better results. The pin falls out between the gear and case and breaks the case. Apparently it can be much more catastrophic. I found this while de-greasing the engine. Due to being low on cash at the moment it put me way behind my intended schedule. My pic of my kid on the Kubota I think speaks for itself.

finally in
Here it is finally bolted in, Had to do some creative notching and re-inforcing of the front crossmember to frame intersection to clear the a/c compressor.

Frame notch
Here's the finished frame notch, I also added a piece of 2x2 box tubing slightly forward to tie the top of the frame together.

Here's the transfer case shifter bracket. I'm using a first gen Cummins NP205, and the NV4500 which came with the engine.
