Sorry if this is in the wrong spot... I am building a truck ( postal jeep cab, '46 ford front end, dodge truck bed) and would love to make it a dump bed. Being on a budget and cheep I don't want to buy a kit for it. I also like doing things the hard way[ddev So I was trying to come up with cool/ different way so lift the bed.
One way among several bouncing around in my head was inspired by an exhaust powered car jack that I saw.
So here is the question could i use a cut out in the exhaust and fill up an air tank that I could then use to fill an pneumatic ram, or a truck style air bag?
Is this just a really bad Idea? let me know your thoughts.
Thanks in advance
