Jerry Dan 12 ton wrecker tailboard D rings

Does anyone have a set of bolt on D rings that would fit this 1210D at the 4 bolts mounting the bed to the frame right below where the truck bar mounts are before I build a set? Thanks

Curious as to why you would want to change it?

Looking to add a good strong mount for a snatchblock, I see the underlift has holes that may look like similar holes as in the boom for snatchblocks but am unsure of what a hard side pull would do to the underlift. All my other trucks have D rings at the rear of the tailboard where the bed mounts to the end of the truck frame, seems like the strongest point for a snatchblock mount for a hard side pull which we do often on our narrow mountainous roads.

Only reason I asked was that on the steel body, it allows a little more bumper clearance w/out the boxes that are required for the aluminum bodies. You might even be able to get a set for a MPL40 with the D rings as well. To answer your other question, you can full pull off of the holes in the wheel lift. We had a spade on ours that was up near the main part of the structure that would plant the truck and not put force on the T head. You can also full pull off the side using the tear drop shaped holes in the boom mount, in front of the winches. That's what they are there for.

Im a creature of habit I guess, I like all my trucks equipped the same way, tool boxes set up the same, dollies, same rigging configurations, etc. In my area we hook a snatchblock to the tailboard often.

I get it and I'm the same way. My MPL40 didn't have the sling option so there wasn't anything on the tailboard. I bought the D ring package from Jerr-Dan for a few hundred bucks I believe. I'm not sure if the bolt pattern/spacing is the same though as the Cougar body?

 

Just thinking these because they wouldn't protrude out as far as the Sling Mount/Safety Chain boxes they came with.

Looks good, they are $500 plus now from what I found for the MPL 40, Ill build something stouter for $500
