finely got bed to work properly. had to use a hydraulic pump like on a lift gate and a hydraulic motor. should have gave up on spring tension type a long time ago. putting selector valves in hoses before bed so i can use same motor to raise and lower toy hauler door. bought dual 6" exhaust stacks 3 piece 120" tall reduced to 5" inlets miter cut on top $1500.00 and just over $500.00 for mounting brackets. rewrote books on parts and labor time. didn't leave enough room after parts when i started labor so they were jumping around in book. wife came up with idea of two books cause i will never quit working on it or throwing more money at it. she's got a good point so thats what i did. posted pictures in photo gallery. i will get them posted here also.
figure i am at about $60,000 now for labor and parts.
