there should be a sweet spot where you can pivot the bed and have the fenders miss the tires as well, this would most likely be near the pivot for the tailgate.
S-10 Tilt Bed - what to do with bumper?
Hi everyone,
We're elbow-deep in our S-10 conversion and it's going great so far. The rest of the parts are enroute and will be here before the end of the month. Very exciting!
We're putting a tilt-bed system on the S-10 (long bed). The basics of it are very straightforward. However, the rear bumper is a little more tricky. It doesn't look like the bed can tilt up with the bumper in place. We want to maintin the original bumper mounting system for safety (it will be driven by students after all ;-) ).
Can anyone shed some light on how this is approached?
Thanks a bunch,
Peter
