holmes 480 split boom install pics or info

[sweetk30]

does anyone have any old pics / directions / or other stuff to help me speed along a install of a Holmes 480 split boom on a old 73-87 chevy/gmc 1ton ?

 

i got the unit and it was all un-bolted already and i didn't get any pics or measurements . i know the back of the frame needs clipped off a little . and it was on a c40 to c-60 series truck last .

 

thanks to anyone who has some stuff . . . .  i did search youtube and internet a bit but all i got was videos or 440 or 480 units in action or for sale .

Been waiting to talk with wes . . I know he is a busy guy . 

 

Also planning out the pto feed from my np205 transfercase and pto i have . Got to figure out what gear the trans needs to be in and what engine rpm to run at . 

 

Looking for my rear axle i want to use for the DRW . Planning on a hybrid build . I dont want narrow C&C but also dont want the WIDE rear . So by using a g30 van 14ff rear and swap on DRW hubs and brakes i get a med width and will look better under the bed i think .

sent you a private message

Over a week now and even a pm here and still no phone call from wes . . . He might have the info . . . And repop book . . But 5min of his time to answer a few simple questions ? ? ? ........... maybe i am over reacting . . . . ? ? ? 

 

Talked with another company and under 24hr i got a call bk . And they said he is the info guy and knows his stuff . . . 

 

Not trying to bust his balls here but WOW . . . Pm me / text me / call me . . . If your reprint book is the golden ticket then talk to me and i will buy it.  But at this point i am NOT so sure . .

Let's see if we can shake the @Wes Wilburn Tree and see if he responds.

So i talked with a few older tow truck operators and service parts guys in the last few days . 

 

Found out the 480 split boom holmes uses 3/8" x 100ft of line on each winch . 

 

Now to find more info to complete my project .
